LETTER FROM AMERICA

USF1 problems reverberate across the Atlantic

USF1 problems reverberate across the Atlantic

The shut down of the USF1 project has already started to have major implications on this side of the pond, with the closure of the UK’s first NASCAR team.

Following the announcement last year that USF1 were to create, base and… run a team in a country that could not stand F1, Yorkshire businessman, Dudley Ormanroyd, thought that there must be something to this mad plan that the rest of the world could not see and so decided to set up a UK based NASCAR operation.

Ormanroyd said today; “USF1 were our inspiration, we thought that if two seemingly intelligent blokes thought running an F1 team from America would work then why should it not work in reverse? We really thought running a NASCAR team from Barnsley was a good idea.”

He went on; “We did everything they did, we got a nice HQ (pictured) a posh website, we put out press releases about our preferred driver choices every bloody week in the Barnsley Chronicle, we got one of the lads to put up videos on YouTube of us stood around the workbench looking at spanners and stuff but it was not enough, we simply could not find sponsors or build a car, so it’s the end of a dream, I’m really gutted.”

J-Lo responsible for USF1 sponsor pull out

J-Lo responsible for USF1 sponsor pull out

USF1 sponsors were thrilled last week when Peter Windsor announced to the world that he had signed J Lopez as a driver for 2010. However, they were none too pleased when they discovered it was not the Latin warbler and… B movie actress, but some bloke from Argentina nobody had ever heard of.

Windsor tried to placate sponsors by pointing out that the pedaller in question, one Jose Maria Lopez, had won lots of races in tough series like the Buenos Aires VW Polo Cup and that in any case, there was no way Ms Lopez could have squeezed her arse into the USF1-01.

Reports elsewhere confirmed that Windsor will definitely be on the grid in Bahrain, probably back doing his old job for Speed TV.

If you have 10 minutes to kill, waiting to hear about the next Japanese car to be recalled, then why not take part in the LG Electronics/F1 Racing Global Fan Survey 2010? The survey is in association with FOTA and… if absolutely everybody votes for free access to the drivers and paddock then they’ll make sure it will happen. Or maybe they won’t.

Mind you, we aren’t completely sure that we can trust a poll where the organisers think that ‘American’ is a language.
