MINARDI in GP2 in 2007!!!!
The news is on the official site, the Minardi Team by GP Racing bought the Piquet Sports (2nd this year!) and in 2007 will run on Gp2 and euro3000. The piquet team will go from Worminghall to Veggiano (Padova, Italy) with the euro 3000 team.
Forza Minardi.:cool:

Cool!
we dreamed it....and it is happening......now lets start working on those Lottery numbers !!!
Since Ger is coming stateside in 2007 for the USGP....it's up to you to head up Minardifest '07.......... ya gotta sell a lot of bikes plus pick your venue (I'm suggesting Spa for ya)....
Keep the ideas coming - we need a venue (preferably Italy) and a body count.
I'm in.
Marvellous news - Piquet had a good season technically but also much depends on the driver in GP2 (more than F1).
This is great news, Minardi back in the GP paddock after only a year away very, very cool:cool:
How can we get some more details of the deal? Inside line please Emmett
FORZA!!
Presumably Piquetsports had fulfilled it's raison d'etre by getting their man into F1, so they were looking to sell the entry.
Now, down to business.... drivers? Rocha done enough? Does Rodriguez go to Campos, or graduate with Minardi? Cacares ought to be kicking himself.
I didn't care for Euro3000, but GP2 is fantastic news!
This I can watch on TV!!!!
So, did GCM buy the team or did GP Racing buy it?
Will GPRacing continue to be a partner or does GCM split with them?
What if PS also entered GP2 under the European Minardi name. That would be interesting.

Happy days.
Roll on next year.
Whats the odds that Tuka Rocha will get one of the seats. Possibly Roldan Rodriguez in the other?
Forza Minardi!
Remember, the weekend after this they will be racing at Vallelunga.
FORZA MINARDI
PS started in local F3, moved to england end then to GP2. Always on top, as they have a lot of money. So they probably had an excelent structure, etc. Wise, wise move by Minardi.
Now we're BACK for real.
FORZA MINARDI SEMPRE
Count me in for Minardifest, though I'm not selling my bike for it.
Forza !!!!!!
Plus PS couldnt come in with the european minardi as he gave GCM the rights to the Minardi name when he sold the team to red bull.
This is excellent news. The Minardi name stuck around in F3000 until near the bitter end (David Saelens was a name I remember, now he's popped around in Porsche Supercup this season), but now GP2 is the kickass series the F1 tour needed (it's a bit like the 125cc class to MotoGP, in that the racing is more exciting), the return of the Minardi name is ace on toast!
I've still watched F1 this season of course, supporting the Renault team as they have a jovial spirit and the former Minardi drivers are shining nicely (well, one more than the other admittedly, but Fisi has won a race this season, don't forget!). I *really* want them to spoil the Schumacher party, but this is me rambling now.
Welcome back Minardi :)

The best news I've seen for a long time. :)
