Spyker Cars N.V. says it has yet to finalize the sale of the Formula One team to Orange India, the company set up by Indian buisnessman Vijay Mallya and Michiel Mol to buy the team. In a press release from the Dutch manufacturer of premium sports cars, Spyker says a number of issues of "relative minor financial importance" still need to be ironed out. Since purchasing the team last September, Mallya and Mol have renamed the team Force India and are set to make their F1 debut in Australia in little less than two weeks time. Spyker Cars says it lost $67.3-million Euros in the first nine months of 2007. Spyker finalized the sale of the F1 team to Mallya's Orange India on September 29, 2007. That news sent shares in the publicly traded auto maker down more than 21% on the Dutch exchange.

Oh my…. What a season. This is a team that under its old identity BAR Honda finished 2nd in the constructors table in 2004. This is the team that recorded its first race win in 2006. This the team who’s driver Jenson Button finished 3rd in driver’s table in 2004 and scored more points than any other driver in the second half of 2006 season… They hoped for further step up in 2007, if not for a title fight than at least few more race wins… To promote enviromental issues they entered the season with an unique Earth livery, with no sponsors messages on the car. The weight of the whole Earth was apparently too much for them to carry …
The Australian Grand Prix was an eye opener. The Honda cars were solid midfield cars, far behind the leading Ferraris and McLarens. Both cars finished lap down, barely getting out of Q1. The pattern for the rest of the season has been set. The 3 week break before Malaysian GP did not help them much, more the opp

Spyker F1 team new owner Vijay Mallya has announced that from the next year the team will be renamed to Force India. This was expected and I have mentioned the likelihood of introducing a new name mentioning India.Thew new brand name for the team was revealed at Interlagos on Saturday. "We have applied to the FIA for a change in name of the company and the team from Spyker to Force India. I think that sums it all up as to why I am here." says the Indian businessman.The name change has been approved by the Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone. However, it would still require approval from the competing teams.Force India is the fourth name for this team. The initial name of the team was Jordan, then Midland, then Spyker F1 and now the fourth name is Force India.
Spyker Cars NV has reached a final agreement to sell its Formula 1 the team to a company called Orange India Holdings. The deal is worth $124m. Spyker says it will use the money to relaunch the troubled car company. There is no news yet as to what Orange India Holdings is planning to do with the team nor what the cars will be called.
Last year during the Italian GP in Monza Midland confirmed the sale of the team to Spyker Cars. Next race was China and the team arrived with new livery colors and brought with them several Spyker road cars to show.

Two weeks ago while reading Clive’s blog I found his post about The Spyker Magazine. I never heard of this one before, so I went, registered and … got a very nice surprise. Spyker team may be the backmarkers on the track, but their magazine is first class. It offers lots of excellent pictures, insight into the Spyker team and recaps the event of the Grands Prix. The lastest Japanese GP issue is out. This was an exciting weekend for Spyker with the finalized takeover deal and their first point - the latest issue reflects on that of course. Check out also the chapter about the team mates championship fights and rivalries of the past. This magazine is definitelly worth the time it takes to register.
The Netherlands automaker: Spyker’s C8 Spyder supercar is confirmed for the 2007 Australian International Motor Show at Sydney of October.
Spyker C8 Spyder Supercar: the $650,000 hand-built convertible features a mid-mounted all-aluminium V8 engine sourced from Audi, which produces 300kW for rear-wheel distribution.
The C8 Spyder’s aluminum frame keeps overall kerb weight to 1250 kilograms, allowing it to sprint to 100km/hr in a claimed 4.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 300km/hr.
P1, Spyker Cars’ exclusive Australian authorised agent, is bringing the C8 Spyder to the Motor Show and P1 CEO Tim Sommers expects a strong reception for it.
“People know the Spyker name now because it entered Formula One this year and even led the European GP in July,” Mr Sommers said.
“But most Australians would never have seen a Spyker road car before, so the Australian International Motor Show will certainly be the first chance for the public to see one.”

Spyker switches gears, brands its own electronics: "Spyker certainly won't go down as the first auto maker to dabble in consumer electronics, but it is making the leap in a big way. Rolling out, er, branding no fewer than three mobiles, five PMPs, and two USB flash drives, Spyker owners / fans now have lots of accessories to spend their wages on that are completely unrelated to their vehicle. Among the devices now available is a four-inch PMP with a rather antiquated design scheme, support for a slew of file formats, a 1.3-megapixel camera, FM tuner, AV input, and a promised boost of 10-horsepower (ahem) for €249 ($348).

Struggling Formula One team Spyker will be sold to a consortium composed of Indian billionaire Vijay Mallya and the Dutch family De Mol for 80 million euros ($110m), the ANP news agency reported. The two parties have reached an agreement although the deal has yet to be sealed in writing, said a spokesperson for the De Mol family. Michiel de Mol, the former president of the team who quit in August, had already announced his intention to buy the organisation. Mallya, a businessman and member of parliament, is the head of the drinks group UB and Kingfisher airline. Spyker, the Dutch sports car maker, bought the Midland F1 team in 2006 for 77.8m euros ($107m), but on Monday it posted losses of 29.9m euros ($40.7m) for the first quarter.

Not only will India be mentioned in the updated name of the company, but this will give a perfect chance to Indian drivers to be on the circuit. Especially, this might turn to be a golden opportunity for Narain Karthikeyan.India still hopes to secure a place in the Formula 1 calendar. The nearest opportunity is 2009. However, Mallya is already expecting a German designer Herman Tilke, who has done Bahrain, Istanbul and is now working on Singapore.

Former Super Aguri driver Sakon Yamamoto is to join Spyker for the rest of the 2007 season. The Japanese racer takes the seat vacated by Christijan Albers after Silverstone, and temporarily occupied by Markus Winkelhock at the Nurburgring.

Yamamoto switches from a testing role at Super Aguri Japanese driver Sakon Yamamoto will drive for Spyker in the remaining seven races of the Formula One season. Yamamoto, 25, replaces Christijan Albers after the Dutch driver’s contract was terminated because of sponsorship issues. Yamamoto started seven races for the Honda-backed Super Aguri team in F1 last season. This year he has been testing for Super Aguri and also competing in the GP2 series for the BCN Competición team.
As we exclusively predicted yesterday morning, the Spyker F1 team has announced that Sakon Yamamoto will partner Adrian Sutil for the remaining races of this year’s World Championship. The 25-year-old Japanese driver made his F1 debut with the team - in its Jordan days - back in 2005 and then moved on to Super Aguri where he was test driver last year before taking over from as a race driver for the last seven races. Unable to secure a race drive for 2007 Yamamoto stayed on as nominal test more…

It was believed and anticipated that Christian Klien would take the vacant seat at Spyker F1. However, the team management opted to go with the Spyker reserve driver Markus Winkelhock. Markus Winkelhock will make his Formula One debut at Sunday's European Grand Prix and we will see one more rookie in this season.To Winkelhock this is a dream come true. The driver admitted that while he hadn't have much time in the car this year, he is prepared both physically and mentally.I think Markus' appearance on the track is some kind of an experiment. This can be a one-off race or we may see Markus in subsequent races, maybe even for the rest of the season. One thing is clear that the team must make a decision who will be Adrian Sutil's partner for the rest of the season. Therefore, it will be an extremely important moment in German driver's career.(Photo courtesy of http://www.motorsport-live.de)This post has been featured on BLOGVASION.COM
Markus Winkelhock, will partner Adrian Sutil at this weekend’s European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring.

Christian Klien reckons the Spyker has good potential after his first run for the Dutch team in yesterday’s Spa test. The Honda reserve driver was released to test for Spyker with a view to him taking the team’s vacant race drive. “Obviously it was a new team, new car and a new seat and it took some time to get used to it, but there is a good bunch of people here and I felt at home straight away,” Klien said. “We did a lot of mileage, but obviously today’s focus was to get used to more…

Spyker F1 has announced that Christijan Albers will no longer race for the team. The decision was taken as a result of one of Albers’s main personal sponsors failing to make a payment.

Mark Webber remains confident that Red Bull will eventually take a giant leap up the grid, even though the squad has struggled to break out of the midfield this year.
Hopes were high for 2007 as the team introduced its first Adrian Newey-designed, Renault-powered chassis.
But despite showing flashes of pace, the RB3 has yet to fulfil its potential and has been struck by poor reliability - leaving Red Bull seventh in the constructors’ standings at the season’s halfway point.

A third team has become embroiled in the Formula One spying saga.
It has emerged that Nigel Stepney, the man accused of leaking Ferrari secrets to McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan, also approached Honda.

Last week’s Silverstone test featured Giedo van der Garde in a Spyker. This raised little interest at the time but was a very significant moment. Prior to this test Van der Garde was barred from testing for Spyker because he was under contract to Super Aguri F1 and could not get a superlicence unless Suzuki agreed. This the team refused to do because of the fight between Super Aguri and Spykeer over the question of chassis design. There were talks in Indianapolis to try to clear up the fight more…
Spyker bosses were encouraged by the race pace displayed by Adrian Sutil in the US Grand Prix.
The young German made a remarkable start to vault from the back row of the grid to 13th place and then held his own in the midfield group, staying with Alex Wurz’s Williams and keeping the chasing pack at bay.
Although he later fell behind some drivers on a one-stop strategy, Sutil was satisfied with his afternoon’s work.

Christijan Albers:
The gap to the others was smaller, for sure. We were not that far away in the race, it was a shame we could not finish, especially so close to the end. Monaco is a special track and the differences in cars are not so obvious, but I hope we can keep up like this for the rest of the season.

Surprise Monaco star Adrian Sutil believes Spyker can carry the improved pace it showed at Monaco over to this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal, despite the disparate nature of the circuits.
The German, who stunned onlookers by setting the fastest time in Saturday’s wet free practice session in Monte Carlo, was encouraged by the Spyker’s race pace and says the target is now to finish ahead of the cars he was fighting with when he crashed out of the event.

Spyker team boss Colin Kolles says that the Formula 1 squad will not be affected by the financial problems that parent company Spyker Cars has suffered in recent weeks.
In Monaco it emerged that share prices in the Spyker car company had dropped dramatically after the firm had put its brand name up as security for a bank loan.
A consortium including the Spyker owners bought the F1 team from Alex Shnaider’s Midland group last September.

A corrida de Mônaco, marcada para este domingo, será utilizada pela Spyker como uma plataforma de negócios.

24. No, that's not Kiefer Sutherlands favorite number, it's the number of units Spyker will build of this ultra limited-edition C12 Zagato. Designed in conjunction with the famed Zagato styling house that brought us such cars as the old Aston Martin DB4 Zagato and the newer Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Zagato Coupe, the C12 Zagato was designed in the wake of Spyker of acquiring the Midland Formula 1 team and therefore incorporates some F1 design cues into long and highly ornate body. Based on Spyker's flagship C12 model, the Zagato version uses a 6.0L W12 engine sourced from the only company in the world who makes those engines – Volkswagen. Here it produces 500bhp (a supercharger can be added that bumps power to 650bhp) and will launch the relatively lightweight (3,086 lbs.) C12 Zagato to 60 mph in a short 3.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 193 mph.
