It's a negotiating ploy by Gow - trying to lock in a contract extension with HRT asap by saying there's other opportunities out there for him.
He can't say there are other V8 teams interested because HRT know that isn't true.
Can't understand which 'European' opportunities are there - a guy who hasn't raced in Europe in a decade and isn't currently winning in his current series is all of a sudden in demand on the continent. Because they have a lack of tin-top and sports car drivers over there?
The only reason this is a maybe is because Gow is Euro based, has credibility and is an excellent negotiator.
But I still call BS.

Reason: added 'V8' to teams in par 2.
