Crisis-hit Formula One team Arrows will race at this weekend's German Grand Prix, but whether they complete the season remains another matter.
Arrows face being charged with acting against the spirit of competition if there is a repeat of their actions in France a few days ago when they did not make the starting grid.
The team's failure to qualify at Magny Cours raised suspicion because drivers Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Enrique Bernoldi were both within the 107% cut-off limit after the first two sectors, only to then dramatically slow in the final sector.
The observer for the sport's governing body, the FIA, launched an investigation - and as a result Arrows' actions at Hockenheim this Saturday face close scrutiny.
The threat of a ban for the remainder of the season hangs over a team which is in dire financial straits, witnessed in particular at the British Grand Prix when boss Tom Walkinshaw dipped into his vast personal fortune to pay off a £3.2 million bill to engine suppliers Cosworth.
Despite ongoing talks since then with three potential investors, nothing has yet materialised - and the future of the Oxfordshire-based outfit remains in the balance. Morgan Grenfell bank, which owns 70% of Arrows, are blocking a High Court attempt by Walkinshaw to sell the team's assets to energy drinks giants Red Bull.
But Arrows will be on the grid at the revamped Hockenheim circuit, and a spokesperson said: "Tom as told us we are here to race."
Frentzen, reported to have changed into casual clothes before the end of the qualifying session in France, added: "I think we are ready to do this race in Hockenheim.
"We are going ahead with everything as normal, and I think we will race this weekend.
"Preparation has gone well, and the car is ready - so we are looking forward. I don't think we will see what happened in Magny Cours."
But when asked whether he was being paid - it is believed Frentzen and Bernoldi have not received a penny for their services recently - and whether Arrows would see out the season, the 35-year-old German was vague and showed little confidence.
"I think Tom is trying to do his best to get the team together," he added.
"For everyone in the team it is a difficult time, so we are trying to speed up this problem and do our best for as long as we can."
