Midland sale getting closer?
It looks like the sale of the Midland F1 team is getting closer.
An announcement that part of the consortium to buy them is none other that Dutch sportscar manufacturer Spyker is involved in the purchase of the team.
A statement from their website said “Spyker Cars NV and the M-Consortium confirm that currently negotiations are taking place with the owner of Midland F1 with respect to a possible acquisition by Spyker of the Midland F1 team,”
This is good news for the team, not only will the Spyker brand get better recognition on the international market.
It may also be good news in another way, the company has a good relationship with the VW group, as that is where they source the engines for there cars from (Audi). Even the Spyker C8 double 12R which competed at the Le Mans 24 hours used an Audi engine.
Could this be another possibility for the VAG group to enter into the F1 circus?
