After being rejected from the grid, Stefanovic filed a complaint with the European Commission over the entry selection process and then announced his intentions to continue development of the Toyota chassis, re-badged as the Stefan S-01, with the team even going so far as to send equipment to Bahrain, Australia and Malaysia.
Nakon što je odbijen, Stefanović je pokrenuo žalbu pred Europskom komisijom oko postupka selekcije novih prijava te je najavio svoje namjere da nastavi razvoj Toyotine šasije, preimenovane u Stefan S-01, te je tim čak poslao opremu u Bahrein, Australiju i Maleziju.
