There have been reports that Campos offered to sell to Stefanovic, but the Serbian declined because Campos was selling at an inflated price and the debt due to Dallara was included in the pricetag.

Well why would StefanGp buy it anyway, they are gunning to take the place of a team who falls out, not to buy one out.
Regardless it sounds really desperate from Campos' side

WTF? Really, this is getting ridiculous.

Nothing new, Campos always said he wanted to sign a woman in the future (he did it before) but I don't think that's gonna happen for 2010.

WTF? Really, this is getting ridiculous.

Another nugget of info relating to Teixeira: A1 Team USA awarded $4.5m

That guy is such a trainwreck, I wouldn't let him even mention my name if I was Campos..

The High Court ruled last week that the administrators of A1GP Operations, the company which ran the one-make series, had "better title" to the assets than A1GP boss Tony Teixeira's holding company. Administrator Tim Bramston explained that he is now able to proceed with the sale, which will include the 25 Ferrari-powered A1GP cars used in the final year of the series in 2008-09.

Bramston said that he wants to sell A1GP as a whole to secure "the best price" for the creditors of the operations company.

"People have expressed interest in the past," he said, "but I would like there to be a proper marketing process and can't comment further."

Asked whether Teixeira will be able to bid for the assets, Bramston stated only that they will go to the highest bidder. Teixeira has repeatedly stated that he intends to relaunch the series, most likely with a one-off race early this year before a full season over the winter of 2010-11.

The assets for sale include all the jigs and molds needed to manufacturer the cars, seven spare Ferrari V8 engines and assorted chassis parts. The ownership of 10 Lola chassis used during the series' first three years is still subject to court proceedings.

A1GP Operations went into liquidation in the summer with debts of nearly £100 million ($162 million), which included £80 million ($129 million) owed to A1GP Holdings. It was subsequently moved into administration as a precursor to a sale.

So Teixeira has lost the asset of 25 race cars, wonder how the High Courts decision will influence the supposed Campos partnership?

That is fantastic if it happens, motorsport is a sport which all people not matter of their gender, age, ethnicity, social class, or any disabilities they might have.

A reliable source tells me that Tony Texeira has bought 100% of Campos Meta1 today. StefanGP gets closer to a 2010 grid slot, I think...

Yes, if that person has demonstrated the ability to deserve a seat. Girls (or any other underrepresented group) on merit, please.

I'm starting to think Campos may not make the grid. Shame. I really thought all the new teams would be there, despite all the naysaying around here.

If Teixeria doesn't own A1 anymore, it makes it easier for him to buy into Campos. Bernie Ecclestone has said he'll block any move by Texieria to get into Formula 1 until his A1 debts are paid. But since Texieria does not own A1, he no longer owns their debts. It could be that his plan is to use the Campos team as a platofrm to re-start the series by basing the re-imagined A1GP around Campos.

I'm not sure it's as simple at that... did you read the pitpass link I posted earlier?

Teixeira could well be personally linked to the money owed... in fact it would be quite a special scheme if he wasn't..

Who is Stephane Samson when he's at home?

According to the link he's listed as one of the judgment debtors. It appears they got a default judgment and in the US if he's protected via a corporate entity he would be shielded from collection unless there was some sort of criminal malfeasance, wrongdoing, etc or unless he personally (not through his corporation) guaranteed the debt. Getting a judgment is one thing. Collecting on it is another.

As for Stephan do they even own a 2010 spec car or IP for a car? I thought that Toyota was a 2009 spec. At this stage they would have to buy the IP for the car from Campos, pay Dallara for it and get enough crew and equipment to make Bahrain. In Cup you can put a two car team together in a couple of weeks because there is no constructor rule.

If I was Campos I would probably steer clear of Teixeira if i wanted to receive any money from selling the team. If this represents Teixeira's business ethics I can also understand why Ecclestone is a bit cautious...

So will Stefan pick up Bruno if Campos doesn't make it?

Personally, I hope Campos makes it alone or with some other 'investors' than Teixeira.

Besides that he is a man who has been accused of trading blood diamonds, managing criminal networks and mercenary groups, supporting his son in law who is currently locked up in The Hague for warcrimes trial etc. etc. I'd be more than a bit cautious

from AS:
Teixeira owns 100% Campos-Meta but Adrian Campos still onboard. This monday he has a difficult task in Paris to explain how the teams plans are going ahead.

Ecclestone doesn´t want Teixeira on F1, Ecclestone wants this Stefan guy on F1, monday´s outcome looks pretty clear...

So is this Monday thing for all new teams, or just Campos?

If I as a team boss with a lock of cash flow I would be all over drivers that have the biggest sponsor budget and that are still decent drivers. After all: with debts or money problems you can't compete in F1 or at least not long. If Maldonado does have a lot of money it's a no brainer who I would choose.

«Lo que se está hablando de la venta de la escudería no es cierto. Estoy en Italia en medio de una reunión y no puedo decir más», fueron las palabras de Carabante.

Yeah, because Teixeira has massive debts from A1GP. He managed the sport so poorly that he pretty much started running it into the ground as soon as he took control of it, and he intends to use the team to promote the series. If you were Ecclestone, the man who controlled the commercial rights to the sport, would you want someone coming along, buying into a team and then using it - and by proxy of that, the sport - to promote a rival open-wheel series?

I really wanted to see what Bruno could do with the Dallara, this is upsetting for sure. Push comes to shove USF1 can pick Senna up and the cars!
