The new DART GP team, previously known as Phoenix, the remnants of the now defunct Prost team, turned up in Malaysia ahead of round two hoping to participate on the Sepang circuit. However the FIA told
them in no uncertain terms that their presence was not allowed and
they were forced to leave.
A letter was produced at the Malaysian Grand Prix confirming that the
new outfit has the right to contest the 2002 championship after
rights were officially transferred from Prost back in late February.
However, the FIA stood firm on the situation, questioning the
validity of the said documents and refusing to let them compete.
With cars still in customs due to the fact that they didn't arrive on
the official FIA flight from Australia, the outfit went away as
directed, despite their strong belief that they were in the right.
Now
it appears as if they have every intention of trying the same thing
in Brazil this week for round three of the championship
season.
According to new reports, officials at the Interlagos circuit have
confirmed that a request has been made to hold a pit garage pending
DART's expected arrival later this week, but it is expected that once
again, the FIA will refuse them admission into the paddock.
