If it's real testing they will have no benchmarks whatsoever. It appears they have crash tested the nose already,

Would it not be like the shakedown tests like the likes of Brawn last year did at silverstone.

Reading the article it says 3 test days before heading to spain to join the rest of the teams.

Is that because the idea of them being a competant team is a fantasy?

kartracer41 has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Tonight on the SPEED Report on SPEED Channel, one of the guys mentioned visiting USF1 recently, and said something to the effect of "if their car performs anything how well it looks..." something about it being a work of art.

Or contract Kasper Andersen (IFM, Euroseries F3000 ans Superleague racer) as a driver...
Also Andersen Consulting would be superb as a sponsor.

Speaking only for myself, USF1 won’t make grid in Bahrain. They are pushing FIA to skip the first four rounds. It can't be good.

I failto see how the lead singer of Yes! is going to help them. Maybe they should write to the lead singer of Echo & The Bunnymen instead.

John Anderson was most recently Team Manager for De Ferran's ALMS team.

As far as I know, he is not a high-pitched elfin singer.

Ha ha

Maybe Chris Rea or Eric Clapton they like their F1 racing.

My personal favourite would be Mark E Smith or Shane MacGowen... purely for the enjoyment of trying to work out what their saying in interviews

Maybe if he gets them to listen to 'Awaken' a few times or tell them that: 'Yours is no disgrace'.

Weird!

They've got six days (instead of four) of straight-line/full scale wind tunnel testing.

The second link works fine, they've probably played a trick on ya my moving the story around abit.

Is it only USF1 that are getting that or is it something all of the new teams are getting?

It's just US F1 from what I can make out. Due to their geographical disadvantage I think.

US F1 are denying reports that they are to start the season later than the other teams.

'I can't say any more than that we will definitely be on the Bahrain grid'. said Windsor.
