Carlin, who recently celebrated their 100th win in the various junior series, are also running the Lebanese and Portuguese teams in the new A1 Grand Prix championship.

Trevor Carlin was also briefly Jordan's sporting director in Formula One last season.

All 11 teams currently in Formula One have submitted entries for 2008 while other known contenders are former Benetton and BAR boss David Richards' Prodrive company and former Minardi owner Paul Stoddart.

Eddie Jordan, the Irish entrepreneur who sold his Silverstone-based team to Midland last year, has refused to confirm his rumoured interest.

The 22 teams were to have met the governing body at a meeting in London on Monday but it was shelved due to some being unable to attend over the holiday period. No new date has been scheduled yet.

Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has said the championship will not expand beyond 12 teams and 24 cars. The FIA has said it will publish the list of successful applicants on April 28.
