I read that USF1 have applied for membership in FOTA.

I thought you needed a car for that, an F1 car preferably?

This thread has long been about USF1 bashing, and I routinely avoid it because there is always more useful information about them on other forums.

The don't have an F1 car yet, but they are an F1 team. They have paid (or signed a contract with Bernie and/or the FIA) their massive bond to the sport, and will field a car on the grid in 2010.

It's starting to sound like the redneck mentality making fun of "Redneck Racing".

"haha look Jeb, they're actually trying to make them one of them F1 teams. What morons!!!"

Doubt YouTube's founder would allow them to forget to make a car.

I'm sorry guys, I just could not help that one.

Anyway, even if I lived off and on in the US myself, I admit to have a problem with Windsor and his "Yes we can" attitude, in particular that introduction on Speed TV.

But having said that, of course I'm happy to see a US-team on the grid next year, though I can't promise having some fun with the now and again. :wink:

Indeed USF1 has applied at the request of the FOTA. See below:

That was a most polite interview, what did Windsor say really, that everything is fine and Chad Hurley is a great guy?

WTF did you expect him to say?

By the way, are you this miserable in real life, or does it just come out on this subject?

It was quite neutral, but that is generally the case with Formula.com produced material.

When it comes to all the top Indy Car/NASCAR American drivers you have to look at their results. When it comes to "Road Courses" (what they call non-oval circuits aka proper racing circuits) they suck hard. Including that chick Patrick. Infact NASCAR teams have specialist drivers for the non-oval courses. Surely as a racing driver you should have to learn how to race around a real track before mastering the art of the oval course (don't get me wrong, I think some people tend to oversimply oval courses/racing).

It's like getting a manual transmission license over an automatic one. With a manual license you can drive both types, but with auto, only auto.

pretty sure in the states if you get a license you can drive any type of transmission you want. you just have to be patient when learning to drive stick. I passed my road test using a manual vw jetta. when the police officer came in she asked if I was sure I wanted to take the test with that car. lol. passed with flying colors.
