F1 2010's lost teams: Epsilon Euskadi
When the FIA fielded entries for the 2010 Formula 1 season, a number of serious entries failed to make the cut. In this next instalment of our "Lost Teams" mini-series, we look at Epsilon Euskadi's attempt to become Spain's first F1 constructor
As Formula 1 opened its doors to prospective new entries for the 2010 season, the promised £40m cost cap presented a considerably more affordable option for junior-category racing teams looking to make the step up to the top table of international motorsport.
It also opened F1 up to teams operating outside of "Motorsport Valley", an approximately 30-mile radius around the Silverstone circuit in which most UK-based teams have their headquarters, giving 'alternative' racing teams a chance to lay claim to a coveted entry ticket to the 2010 grid.
