USF1 Garage

We saw the USF1 facility on our coverage of the Abu Dhabi race. Did anyone across the pond get to see this?

I was not terribly impressed...but wish the best for this new upstart team. Hope they get it together in time, looks like they have a lot of work ahead of them.

Anybody see this RPM per Matchett walk through and have an opinion?

Peter Windsor has a lot of work to do, developing a new team from nothing. Just an opinion...they don't look close to having a rolling chassis yet. Maybe they are playing their cards close to the vest?

I saw it,too, Giz. It looked kinda sketchy to me. Like you, I hope they have their act together and cars on the grid by the start of 2010. They haven't even named their drivers yet and that could be telling. Seems like they would have picked them by now. Maybe things will pick up for them during the off-season.

Mr. Windsor alluded to the subject of we will have American drivers soon...so me thinks he will have some other drivers in 2010.

That's cool, he's thinking about 2011 for US drivers.

I was hoping to see a bit more chassis/aero development. Actual parts coming together. People laying up carbon fiber...wrenching on a chassis. Assembly of a rolling chassis. An engine, or an engine mock up being bolted to the monocoque.

We will see...
