Our car is no copy, says US F1
« on: January 20, 2010, 06:46:04 PM »

This must be a pop at Lotus methinks. ::)    Interesting though that USF1 is brave enough to use their own gearbox, lets hope it all works out.

The brand-new US F1 team stresses that the design process of its first Formula 1 car will in no way feature a duplication technique; instead, the Charlotte-based team - which will also have an operational base in Spain for the European season - will be designing its challenger completely from scratch.

With US F1 being one of four new outfits on the grid this year, the Ken Anderson and Peter Windsor-formed team is keen to impress as soon as possible. 'F1 cars are small and we are fitting a lot of stuff into a very tight volume,' senior designer Scott Bennett wrote on the US F1 team website. 'We're doing a few things quite differently than they have been done in recent years.

I can't give specifics (yet) but we've looked at everything with a fresh perspective and come up with some different answers. We'll know whether they were the right or wrong answers soon enough, but our car certainly won't be a clone of anything else out there. And did you know that we're the only one of the four new teams designing our own gearbox...?'

With former debutant team Campos Meta plus Renault still yet to confirm their second drivers, US F1 is the only squad with no driver signed up to date.
