Feb.2 (GMM) Stefan GP has shipped a 40 foot container of equipment to Bahrain.

In the hope of ultimately receiving an official entry to race in 2010, the Serbian team said the move proves "how serious (we) are when they say that we are pushing to ... race" this season.

Bahrain will host the opening race of the 2010 season in mid March.

Stefan GP said last week that it has reached an agreement with former Cologne based F1 entrant Toyota to "receive technical supports" in 2010.

A deal to take over Toyota's 2010 car, complete with engine and gearbox, had already been reached. It is rumoured that Stefan GP is first in line should any of F1's confirmed 13 teams fail to make it to the grid.

"Anyway we are proud of us, and on our power of will, so we will keep going and show some new people belong in F1," a media statement added.
