Force 1 USA

Post

I was looking on the internet and I found this interesting 'team' site: http://force1usa.com/

I think this person 'Don Pentecost' is a bit mad.

What are your thoughts?

I don't see any particular madness in seeking investment... The site is pretty disasterously awful though, that's never a good sign.

" A) I have the potential to win a F1 world championship. (it doesn’t matter what some people might think about this statement, they don’t know me)."

I can win the championship is code for "Invest in me", and nothing more. If he didn't say that, who would think it was worth investing?

yes because that is what you look at when you want to invest billions in a team that doesn´t exist yet.

Just look for the guy with the confidence boost, he´ll get the job done...

And it goes getting better and better:
The last thing in the world that the political “powers” want is an actual SOLUTION for clean energy and a clean environment. I have the SOLUTION (singular), not a so-called “green economy” that is based on so-called “solutions” (plural).

Most people in motorsports (99.99%), have no idea what a real job is, and if they do, they look down on the people who have those jobs.

I just found the goldmine :)
As stated previously, I lead the list of people who know that my vision for an American-based F1 team (that is capable of winning), is an almost “impossible” assignment. Actually through my own efforts it is (financially) impossible, but with God all things are possible.
I thought we had left myths behind us in modern society?
I never get amazed by the country called USA...

Edit: really what he did there was to show anyone that you can fool this man into pretty much anything.

Edit2: Also love the whole environment thing. Not saying anything about what it is but have no problems saying things like "do the math"

WHAT MATH?

Edit3: He´s got over 50 Facebook accounts and over 50 twitter accounts.. wtf....

Edit4: sorry i can´t help myself... it´s pure comedy..

Apparently F1 "terrorists" exist in the UK....
There are too many F1 fans in the UK who are violently opposed to any effort to start a United States Formula 1 team. Rather than being “threatened” by the idea, they should be encouraging the effort, and the additional competition.being added to F1.
i don´t even know how to tackle a statement like that.

edit5: Get this..... HE will take one of the seats in the F1 team....
He´s very dynamic and can adapt to any racing (shows pictures of every motorsport there is)

Then when it comes to Top Fuel boats he says,
Top Fuel Drag Boats…NO….Won’t accept any offer to drive. I had a bad premonition about this motorsport.

There´s absolutely no grasp on reality it seems. And this is probably the reason why we don´t have an American F1 team still.


Gold nugget:
...Everything from incredibly naive F1 fans that think that F1 drivers are hard working,
And some more,
I think the thing that is drawing so many negative comments from the United Kingdom, (and positive feedback from from American F1 supporters), is the fact that if I start an F1 team, and especially if I end up racing Formula 1 (with my projected success), that it will crush the “mystique” surrounding Formula 1 racing. This, along with the fact that people are very jealous and envious…that’s the bottom line. No one wants to see anyone else succeed if it is not going to benefit them in some way. Sad, but true.
He´s 56 years old and seriously considers himself as one of the two drivers in the team.
No joke.

Yes, you're absolutely right. :wtf:

This guy certainly appears to be misguided, but so are those of us - and I'm not excluding myself - who break down thousands of man-hours' worth of science and simulation with anecdotal eyeball CFD.

Don´t get me wrong i love the enthusiasm but it´s clear he really don´t have a clue about F1.
"Misguided" is an understatement like nothing else.
There is NO WAY any F1 driver is as overall physically, or mentally tough as I am. That is not bragging, it is just fact.
The so-called liabilities concerning racing an F1 car, and creating an American F1 team that is capable of winning, are actually all assets…if you have insight and know how to look at the situation with the right perspective…All 5 non-typical F1 driver characteristics will draw a tremendous amount of attention to the F1 team ( I am not looking to draw any attention to myself). Isn’t a sponsor most concerned with drawing attention to their brand ? My “non typical F1 driver assets are; My Age (currently 56), My lack of F1 driver “seat time“. …….My lack of money (which is the only factor that does not allow for seat time). I am definitely not a member of the elitist jet set. If you grew up the way that I did, (compared to F1 drivers), it’s called building character. There is NO WAY any F1 driver is as overall physically, or mentally tough as I am. That is not bragging, it is just fact. My Physical Size. I am definitely not the typical size of a jockey…oops, I mean F1 driver. I Completely “ripped” nothing but muscle and bone, I would still be 185-190 Lbs…and number 5 is the fact that I am an American, The problem isn’t the logistics of being in the United States, it is funding. Just like the movie, “if you build it they will come” , and building it takes immediate funding and long term financial commitment. The best way to build an American F1 fan base is to have a working-class F1 driver who has worked at real jobs their entire life (just like them), and is now in the big leagues. You don’t build a good fan base by having an F1 “cookie cutter” driver who was born with a silver spoon in their mouth, and has been given everything in life, never had to work just to live, and has no idea what a real job is. I can’t put them down for it, it’s just the fact about F1 drivers.
I mean seriously who is this guy? He doesn´t know ---.

Established business-men will read this and wonder what the F is he talking about..
You can´t write this sort of stuff, it makes you look like you are 10 years old.

I would bet my house that his enviromental thing is one of those eternity-machines that only exists in the abstract world.
Without my motivation, vision, experience, and as future F1 driver, you only have the name
...you are touching 60 years ffs.
I believe that it is possible that the USF1 team was allowed into Formula 1 because the Formula 1 organization knew that they would fail…and fail they did…who in their right mind would even entertain the thought of having either Danica Patrick or Scott Speed as their primary F1 driver ??? Both Scott Speed and Danica Patrick have had everything handed to them on a silver platter in the motorsports world, and they still can’t do crap.
...Yes because hiring a 56 year old raisin with....nevermind i just realized now that the guy is dement.

No question about it. The guy is dement. Bring in a doctor and he would say the same thing.

Last thing from me,
