The former GP2 team Durango, which quit the F1 feeder series in 2009, has announced it’s bid to fill the 13th slot on the grid for the 2011 season. 

The FIA invited new teams to apply for entry into the 2011 season after the now defunct USF1 outfit failed to make the grid in 2010 to line-up with other newcomers: Virgin, Hispania and Lotus.

The team dropped out of GP2 after hitting financial problems, but issued a statement which mentioned two ‘very big international groups’ as backing for the F1 bid.

“Durango has been officially acknowledged by the FIA as candidate for the valuation process for the selection of a new Formula 1 team for the 2011 World Championship,” the statement read.

“We pushed towards this direction [after the failed GP2 outfit] and I can say that, to enter F1, we can now enjoy the backing of two very big international groups.

“So even keeping the feet on the ground as we say in Italy, because up till now this is just a serious attempt, I like to consider that after so many years spent pushing young drivers to become future champions now the time has come to strongly push Durango as a team towards the motorsport pinnacle.”
