USF1 plans confirmed

Ken Anderson, one of the figures behind the plans to start a new F1 team, has confirmed that the new team 'USF1' is planning to contest the 2010 F1 World Championship. Anderson said to the 'Charlotte Observer' that "95%" of the unofficial information found on F1 websites in recent days is correct.

Anderson confirmed that they are looking for possibilities to build the team's headquarters in North Carolina. He also declared that USF1 is close to signing its first driver for 2010. Anderson hinted at an American who is currently racing in a junior open-wheeler series in Europe.

An official announcement of the team is expected later this month.
