If VAG wants an easy way into F1 then the option is here now. They already have the Cosworth link.

Yeah, and buying Jag and Cosworth on the cheap is still going to be cheaper than starting up alone. Jag have fairly modern facilities/wind tunnel.
Its now or never for Volkswagen. |

According to this story, one potential buyer of Jaguar Racing could be a Canadian company. Anyone else heard of this rumour?
First Jacques is back in F1 and now this. I don't think my ticker can take much more excitement. Ted |

Dofasco is looking at expanding their global reach, particularly in Europe and Asia. They also have a new metal product called Zyplex, which apparently is incredibly lightweight and very strong...... One wonders... And yet, having talked with an engineer at Dofasco, and an executive, they know nothing about it. |

 I would suggest that most sugestions are just a little funny pointing out those people and companies that are always periodically linked to F1. And this is the point, at this early stage things are up in the air. Even previous links and runours have o be reviewed. I would think that the price wanted for Jaguar, or any F1 team, has reduced dramtically after this news. Ford is pulling out whatever at the end of the year, it is a buyers market. I hope Jordan has don all its deals it wanted to do, because there is another alternative. |

Tail Wagging the Dog?
Strikes me that that is the position of Jaguar F1 Racing in this reshuffle. Without a bidder's package it is hard to say, but it seems to me that, if there is one, Cosworth is the "Jewel in the Crown" in this package. The racing team must run at a very significant loss, but Cosworth has some significant engine contracts including the three Fi teams and the Champ Cars. Other posters can probably add to this list. If I were the GFMC (Great Ford MOtor Company) I would want to sell the whole package, but as a buyer, I would focus on Cosworth.

I think there will have to be massive change in formula one regarding cost before someone steps in to buy Jag, like who is going to pump god knows how much £££££$$$$$ into this team and in return they will be somewhere near the back of the grid.

Given that an alternative would be closing down, I suspect the team will be available relatively cheaply.
Of course, whoever buys it then needs to have an operational budget - this is the issue that needs addressed seriously. However, despite Bernie's reported comments, it's likely the powers that be would prefer this team to be saved rather than seeing three-car teams. |

The team is all but free, but you have to prove you have the money to run it, and you wont have an engine.

Bernie would like F1 shared amongst the motor manufacturers, The europeans are in but VAG could but unlikely but with Ford going that leaves no US racers.
GM, very unlikely limited involvement in Motor Sport, Chrysler are tied in with Daimler ( Mercedes ) The Far East, Nissan, (but part owned by Renault) Daiwoo,(GM again). Cosworth carry out a lot of development work for Ford so that's reasonably safe. Outside possibilities..... your guess is as good as mine. Steel manufacturers ? world trade is not that good, Outside possibility: Peugeot, motor sport orientated, last association with McLaren went pear shaped but? |

And firmly in WRC
I think Cosworth is over in F1. They might save the Jag team, but more than likely we've got third factory cars next year; without the silly points rules. |

Rules would likely be the same as WRC - any car can score points for the driver, and the top two to finish from each constructor can score constructors points.
Seems sensible. |
