I was looking forward to that a couple of years ago but it fell through
I think the 'other engine supplier' is mclaren. Thats who's engine they wanted last year.
I always thought it would be good if they entered under the subaru name

I can see it now, a blue car with big shiny gold wheels and some silly wings all over the shop! Aren't Lola meant to be having a look at F1? And possibly with a woman driver too.

They say there is room on the grid for another 3 teams, and that there have been interest from 8 different parties to enter, all thanks to the FIA budget capping policy..... at last the FIA get something right, it will be great to see a full grid of 26 cars, rather than the 20 currently running.

I think there's room for 3 news teams according to Autosport.

I've read previously that Mercedes don't want to supply more than 3 teams with engines so assuming Brawn change next season (presumably to Ferrari) then that would leave a slot for Mercedes to supply Pro Drive.

Yes, it's the USF1 team considering Danica Patrick.
