Note the merge.

Between Stefan, USF1 and Epsilon Euskadi, I vote Prodrive. Even if they're running farm machinery.

farm machinery.

So what you're saying is either Caterpillar, Case IH, JCB, John Deere, Kubota or Mahindra will be in F1 in 2011? Or Lamborghini?

Cat will field one team, running Massa and JB. True story.

Not the first time that would happen. Someone remembers the Ferguson P99, the first ever 4WD F1 car? Its creator, Harry Ferguson, was related to Massey-Ferguson (he was part-owner of the company).

Funny you should say that, I made a Cat livery for a competition on another forum. In fact, here it is:


Sure it's based on an '08 spec car, but it's somewhat realistic looking apart from a few sponsors here and there may need to be changed.

Note that also used in that vehicle's propulsion is the Menard Competition Technologies 4.2l V12 as seen in Superleague Formula.

JCB has circuit racing creditials now, doesn't it? Mind you, Cat does too, having supplied trucks for Harri Luostarinen in his 2001 FIA European Truck Racing Cup title.

Mentioned simply cause of this...why aren't F1 drivers allowed to do this too?
