Campos homologates their car. USF1GPEXYZ is left wondering if they can homologate a pine wood derby version of the car or do they need the whole thing.
New to the grid Campos Meta 1 has officially homologated its car with the FIA at Dallara’s factor in Parma.
Team technical director Toni Cuquerella:
The homologation of the cockpit is a critical point that defines the status and quality of a Formula 1 car. The fact of having our cockpit completely homologised puts us in a privileged position and allows us to keep on developing the car. Dallara has done a great job in order to have everything on time and pass all the tests on the first attempt. We still have to pass the homologation of the rear structure which follows the same process and has already passed our previous internal tests.
Team boss Adrian Campos:
It’s a great satisfaction to pass these homologation FIA tests. It shows the technical strength of the partners and suppliers we have gathered for our entry in the Formula 1. I want to thank Dallara for the compromise shown in the task of fulfilling the original schedule. We still have a long journey in front of us but at this stage we are confident that we will be able to cover all the steps needed to make it with guarantees to the inaugural weekend of the season in Bahrain
Well looks like Campos is well on its way to the beginning of 2010. Let’s see what the other new team bring to the table.

Are the new teams going to release press statement/ twitter update for every twinkie they will put on the car. These sound more like those Dear Diary statements.

If USF1 in contrast is maintaining low profile (and working on their car) why should we complain :-?
Stop, you’re making us all laugh…

Sound like building a wooden gokart. Just need to find an old pram for the wheels now and we’re sorted…
Hmmm, reads like a Gracie written article w/her usual USF1 jab…..no worries. LOL!
I don’t expect to see much out of USF1 till Feb or so myself….
