There was a bit of hope left that a new team would take over their place on the grid. A few former Manor Racing employees came with the idea to start their own team.

In 2008 the FIA announced that there were four spots available on the grid for 2010, and teams were able to place a bit fora n entry in 2009. Many bids for an entry were received by the FIA, and one of the most interesting, and the same time weirdest, bids was that from MYF1DREAM.com, officially named MYF1DREAM Limited.
