2007: 26 wagens op de grid?

[Raceboy]

former Grand Prix driver Jean Alesi, who plans to help run the team, has made it clear that Direxiv are still looking at entering F1 in 2007.

"The plan is still for 2007," he told autosport.com. "We are working hard to reach an agreement. We have a factory and we still want to use it next year. We are determined to make it work."

Alesi made it clear that provision for the $48 million entry bond, which the team would need to lodge if they wanted to race next year, had been included in Direxiv's plans to make the move to F1.

The major complication for Direxiv, however, is the uncertainty about what would happen to their team after next year – because of the lack of entry for 2008.

En om nu eindelijk een on topic te komen
Neen, er gaan geen 26 wagens op de grid staan in 2007 en al evenmin in 2008.
Onze Mosley ziet dat niet zitten uit veiligheidsstandpunt en bovendien zijn de faciliteiten op de meeste circuits niet voorzien op dergelijk aantal.
24 is de "Max".

Dat komt ervan als je al die "oude" circuits vaarwel zegt waar ze vroeger met 30 stonden te prequalificeren

Geen Direxiv, misschien wel helemaal geen direxiv meer in de autosport.

Although Direxiv had lost out to Prodrive in the bid to win an entry to the 2008 world championship, the company was still considering making an attempt to get on the grid next season.

Sources have indicated that those plans have now been abandoned, however, amid speculation that the company may not even continue its involvement in motor racing. As well as sponsoring McLaren, it also backs a GP2 team.
