[OOC: The winning bid will go to the party with the best options, not necessarily the one with the highest bid. Please include team logos and history.]

We at Kulsah Motors are interested in buying them.
The team name will be retained, and no changes made.

We do not have a history of motor sports participation; but we do make sports versions of family hatchbacks, saloons and estate cars.

entry into the 2010 SuperFormula season.

Is this an actual series that you are simulating/scorinating? If so may we take a look at the details of it?

Newmanistan, as a highly active racing nation, could have an interest. Though if purchased, we would replace the "Honda" engine with Empire Motors N39 horsepower, and we would have to change the name of the team to have a true Newmanistanian feel.

Yeah were is that and anyways New would you be interesting in trying a racing league on here(it was done before without a major driving force to keep it afloat)

[OOC: SuperFormula is a private national series. I'm not sure if the Empire Motors N39 would fit the specifics. What are the characteristics? Homologated engines are limited to 10 cylinders and 3 liter capacity. Thank you for your interest.]
