Was checking out the auction which takes place tomorrow and seems that someone has bought all of assets, well at least all of the important ones to run an F1 team. Nothing but miscellaneous shirts and items not useful to a new team. BDO Stoy Hayward LLP arranged the sale so no exact word on who bought the assets.
Sure will be interesting to learn who bought them and if they intend on entering a team. What is Stoddy up to nowadays?
