Hey folks, just found this while trawling through the web:
Romanians to enter F1?
An unlikely team could find itself on the grid this year, according to informed sources. As we all know, Renault have an interest in rebranding their company after repuitation damage encountered in 2008/2009. What we didn't all know is how they planned to do this. They are infact pushing for a renaming of their team for next season.
Renault are preparing to lodge an application for a 2011 grid slot, under the name Dacia GP. Carlos Ghosn, the Chairman and CEO of Renault, said the move is part of a grand new initiative to push Dacia as a future competitor on the sportscar market. He has stated that by 2015, Dacia GP would be within the top 3 teams, and this is only part of the initiative to improve the breed of Dacia's roadcars.
While information coming in is shaky, it is believed that Dacia would race in blue, brown and white, with Telefonica already mooting interest as taking up the position of major sponsor.
