It is unclear whether the competition to find a Formula One driver run by the Jordan motor racing team will be covered by insurance.
A reality TV competition to find a driver for the 2007 season was announced, but a report said it was unclear whether any insurance would be available in the event of a crash or injury to any of the contestants.
The project is still in the early stages of development, according to Jordan. An amateur driver will be selected in a pop idol-style contest. They will then be trained over three years before competing for the team in 2007.
The competition is designed to raise interest in the sport, and to replace revenue from the loss of tobacco sponsorship, the report concluded.
