This I've got to see!

With the success of the Bobsleders after the Women Struck Gold at Salt Lake and other world championship medals, I like to see Geoff Bodine to be part of the US F1 project. And get Bobby Rahal on board as well. If they can Rahal, hopefully they can supply them with BMW engines.

And for an All-American engine - get either Pontiac, Cadillac, of Ford.

Do not bother with Scott or AJA. There is plenty of US talent.

Borat would call the team US-and-A F1

And they will use de-stroked Corvette engines.

I understand they offered a seat to Schumacher!

Or maybe they have a fantastic sponsorship deal lined up with Mastercard?

Bank of America = VISA

Well... how many F1 teams were going to enter F1 this decade and how many of them had actually made it to the grid?

I see it difficult to happen.

Starting off $40m+ in the hole before you hire a janitor just for permission to play in Bernie's yard isn't real inviting. The little Troll ought to start there.

How about already designed Cosworths that are part of a previous engine proposal with Ford badges? Cosworth is American owned.

It might not happen....probably won't happen...but at least somebody is looking to enter F1. Which is what we all want, isn't it?

Seems like Max's cost-cutting measures are attractive.

The team, whose logo can be previewed at usf1.com, is fronted by F1 stalwart and broadcaster Peter Windsor, and American Ken Anderson, of Indycar and NASCAR fame
but also former Ligier technical director.
Feb.4 (GMM) A new formula one team is under wraps in America and set to be launched officially later this month, it is reported on Wednesday.


Briton Windsor, 56, has worked for Williams and Ferrari, but is best known today as a television pundit and writer.

The German website motorsport-total.com said USF1 intends to make its grand prix debut in 2010, and already has the blessing of F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone.

The team will have the slogan 'made in america' and be headquartered in the heart of NASCAR-country in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Reportedly, an agreement to use the new Windshear wind tunnel in North Carolina is already in place, while USF1 intends to be a showcase for American technology and US-born drivers

Interesting! Having read that, I'll be amazed if they end up on the F1 grid.
