:
and what of the story that there will be a US-based Formula One
: team, called "US F1" and headquartered in Charlotte,
: North Carolina (which is the heart of NASCAR country)? I suppose
: there are many of the same questions as with the Lotus team: how
: much US content? will they find US drivers? will this boost US
: interest in Formula One? It will be interesting to see how all
: this will develop.

An interesting one Jeff. Peter Windsor was team manager of Williams many years ago and knows the business. I fear that of all of the new teams that are supposed to come in next year, USF1 is the one that won't make it on time. Last I read, they have an empty factory ready to go, but no car as yet...given that the first race is in six months time, this sounds like they will be cutting it very fine...
