With what car will they drive? They will be unable to drive with the 2005 nor the 2006 BAR.

That would also seem to be a problem for STR,but i would assume that they have got around it somehow. |

If BAR sells the intellectual property of the design, it can then be manufactured by the new team

My impression is that the existing Honda team (AKA BAR) will run the new car they design and build, while the new Honda team can run the 2005 car as long as they build it themselves, and Honda build something different for their team?

So what this tells us is that Honda (A team) will not be starting next season with this years chassis.
Davidson and Sato should do well,but why bother with the V8? |

Because two teams using the engine is twice as much feedback

Yes, we've established that in this thread.
They'll fudge it slightly in a Ligier/Benetton, Sauber/Ferrari type way |

There were indeed rumours that Sauber had used Ferrari's chassis (or at least a modified version) but were untrue.And i don't remember a Ligier looking anything like a Benetton. |

Oh, yeah, I remember something about it some years ago... it has been very suspicious and there was some investigations about it. But in the end, nothing. Now the Ferrari/Sauber thing is ridiculous, if they had only changed the liveries would be the same !

However similar they might have looked they were completely different designs. |

They looked very similar IIRC, especially the sidepods.
Compare a couple of minichamps (different races): http://www.exoto.pc-ps.com/Minichamp.../950025med.jpg http://www.exoto.pc-ps.com/Minichamp.../951802med.jpg |

The intellectual copyright of this year's BAR is sold to Honda2, but not the actual chassis' themselves, and then Honda2 physically creates the acars according to said designs that they own. The requirement is that the design be owned by said team (which does not necessarily mean they have to have come up with it), and then that they produce it (which just means they cannot buy tubs from a supplier). Am I missing something? |
