Does that mean that you are not accepted? No, not yet. We need to review your skill level to see if you would really gain in the environment that the CDDT will be. While we determine that, which will include you coming to a couple trainind sessions, your status will remain "Pending".
This type of activity is exactly why we started the CoRe Driver Development Team. New and inexperienced people come on here and think that they HAVE to be in a team to feel like they belong. Many of us trudged through the independent ranks before we found people that we liked racing against. It is important to get that experience before you take on the task of managing people that are complete strangers.
CoRe Racing didn't happen overnight...and it certainly didn't happen on the LFS forums. Two guys, who are no longer active, started CoRe. We all knew each other via racing online before we joined the team, and what we have now (website, forums, LFS servers, Ventrilo server, etc.) is the result of very hard work over the course of years, not weeks, days, or even hours, as in your case.
You just can't start a team and expect a huge bunch of people to join in a matter of hours. Even if that did happen, which it has to some other "forum teams", they ended up folding in a matter of weeks because no one knew each other enough to trust each other.
I know each of my CoRe Racing teammates enough to want to meet up with them in real life to watch some racing, or go have a beer (well, at least everyone that is legal enough to have a beer ). When you get to that point, you consider these guys friends, even without having met them in reall life, and that is what makes a team strong.
We will have to talk about whether to reconsider your application, because frankly, your actions to 1) apply to the CDDT, 2) start and close a team in less than two days (all while asking to be not considered for CDDT), and 3)then ask to be reconsidered doesn't exactly instill confidence that you will stick with the CDDT long enough to make our time and effort with you worth it.
Another thing I've been wanting to make sure that EVERYONE knows, is that when you apply to the CDDT, you are not applying to be part of the CoRe Racing team. CoRe is simply organizing and supporting a "team" who's purpose is to help inexperienced drivers learn race craft. In fact, the following is an excert from the terms of joining CDDT:
Our four confirmed drivers (Krafcik, Hammer, Falango, and Stnwolf) now have their skins and are set for our first "Meet & Greet) on Tuesday, August 7, 2007. We'll be getting to know each of the drivers and do some racing!

I've played the demo a lot, but I waited to purchase S2 and i'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner.
I've made my own FOX skin and I am familiar with the whole LFSWorld desktop and that jazz. I also have enough money on my account to download over 10,000 skins so I'm good to go for hard core (if you guys are willing).

I was woundering if this is either a race team or drift team?? Either way I'd like to join.
Hi there, I'm new to LFS, having owned it for about 3 weeks. I am keen to learn and intend to learn not only how to do fast laps, but the art of racecraft as well. I would be most grateful if I could be considered to take part in this team as it sounds like a great opportunity..

I'm sorry, but we are limiting participation to drivers in the Western Hemisphere, due to our desire to maximize mutual time opportunities with CDDT drivers.

.....guess there is your answer. Are you serious about learning about racing? Because if you aren't, then you won't be considered. Let us know.
