David Flint revealed to Auto Action at Barbagallo that the team will expand to a 4 car outfit in 2005.

With the team running 4 cars, they will be allowed to use 2 pit booms instead of the 1 that they currently have.

Killa. I wonder who the 4th driver will be????
Shhh Don't tell anyone - It's Skaife, He should have missed his second payment to the loan shark (who lent him the money to buy the team) and HRT is on the market again.

HaHaHaHa

PS David - I've got nothing going on most weekends - I'd love to drive your 4th car

cough *ahem*

I cant say too much, coz Im still finalising some arrangements with Mrs Jemmex,about whos gunna get the kids to footy and help with the shopping, but I guess I can let you guys into a little secret.

The big surprise is that the 4th car is in fact gunna be a Territory for me. Complete with I6 auto tranny, roof bars, aircond, screaming kids.....

Is this the maximum number of cars that can be run in one team? HRO discussions noted ;)

A question for the powers that be at FPR!!!!

How would running an extra car solve the boom gate problem? From my limited understanding all 3 cars are currently linked/classed as one team & therefore have to share 1 boom gate & 1 test log... How would that change with 4 cars? You'd then have 4 cars to 1 boom!!! So I therefore assume a change in structure some how so there is 2 separate, 2 car teams. Similar 2 how HRT/KMR was setup. They where still classed has 1 team for testing purposes with both HRT & KMR on the 1 testing log, but at the same time, structured so they were separate for boom gates purposes. And it has nothing to do with the fact they had 4 cars. It would have still worked the same if KMR was are 1 car team. KMR would have been allowed to share 1 boom gate with another 1 car team…. So my question is why can't this structure happen for the start of 2004 to make 1 of the 3 cars separate. All 3 cars would still have 1 testing log between them, but the 3rd car would be able to share a boom gate with another 1 car team???

Have I got something wrong here???

Well by running the 4th car you could have the teams split up into two entities such as KMart, HRT. I would assume they will need another franchise because they are leasing one L2 now. Which are the franchises that are no not competitive that FPR could get their hands on.

Couldn't they just get another CAT Car and thats your other franchise?
