(GMM) BAR will be allowed to run a motor home, entertain sponsors and generally have a presence at the Monaco grand prix.
But no racing.
FIA president Max Mosley said at Barcelona that the governing body, although overseeing a two-race ban for cheating, did not want to 'crucify' the Honda powered camp.
''We will not try to victimise them in any way.''
Williams' head of marketing Jim Wright, however, revealed that skipping Monaco - the glitziest grand prix of the year - would be an 'unmitigated disaster' for any team.
''We have a full (business) schedule for Monaco,'' he told Reuters.
Monaco resident David Coulthard described the race around Monte Carlo as a 'magic' weekend.
''But once we get out there,'' the Scot described, ''after the initial wow ... Monaco is just another race track.''
