Title: Autosport: Team US F1 shuts down operation Post by: rip|buzinator on March 02, 2010, 01:45:18 PM Quote ...shortly before lunchtime, production manager Dave Skog informed those staff who had remained at the team during its recent troubles that they were being laid off. That move, which has not yet been officially confirmed, brings an end to the F1 dreams of team principal Ken Anderson and sporting director Peter Windsor who had hoped to create a genuine American grand prix team. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/81819 Should have gone for a visit while you could Cawdor... doh.

Ok, I'm good now. Title: Re: Autosport: Team US F1 shuts down operation Post by: Cawdor on March 03, 2010, 01:07:29 AM Nah, I was definitely keeping tabs on the situation cause I was seriously considering it. Once I saw that they were being backed up with funding.... then Hurley possibly throwing in with Campos, NOW possibly throwing in with StefanGP.... making that trip to Charlotte didn't seem as appealing. Too much too soon, Ken and Windsor forgot they were in the Rip Van Winkle state, we don't get things done quickly here. lol

Not a complete car, no, that's one of the things that was causing so many rumor s for so long. Although I have seen photos of wind tunnel models and what looked like a full scale tub / monocoque .
