USF1_275x207_5USF1.com has put a new “Coming Soon” splash image on their site, and it has created quite a bit of buzz about the first Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) photos coming out of the Team US F1 camp.

USF1’s first chassis had been revealed on a SPEEDTV webcast. The CFD images of the new machine were shown to viewers of the Wind Tunnel program in the USA during an interview with the teams key players. Anderson revealed that the new car should be in a rolling condition this month, when more detailed technical work will be carried out.

There have been widespread rumors recently surrounding the new teams progress yet as these images show design work is reasonably advanced.

    I for one, can't wait to see the USF1 car on the track.
    Good luck, guys!

      I hope they will have a sollid design and team so they will build an healthy long lasting American F1 team. To do so I think they should consider an experienced driver like Jarno Trulli or Heikki Kovalainen to help them in the right direction. But i fear they will have to employ an american driver and go for the money they bring along. Good luck to them.

    Jose Maria Lopez is the perfect driver for the team ;)

    Why is Lopez the perfect driver for the team? He hasn’t driven a formula car in a couple of years much less a car with the dynamics of a F1 car. Since they aren’t going after American drivers I’m surprised they didn’t have discussions with Petrov, the Russian driver with pockets full of money and the guy who finished 2nd in GP2 last year. Even with the rumors of some problems with his backing, he seems the more experienced driver. What they need is a current or recent F1 driver with a reputation for car development.
