The two partners in the USF1 Formula 1 team, Peter Windsor and Ken Anderson, revealed that the American team would provide race fans with an unsurpassed access.
Windsor revealed ambitious plans for a more interactive experience for the fans, including television shows and a more open attitude at the factory. "It's certainly something I have learned just in the time I have been here in Charlotte is how good a job the NASCAR teams do for the fans," said Windsor. "We are in the entertainment business and we want it to be a TV-led Formula One team. We are to be that by definition, being so close to Speed TV, and we are also going to have our own TV production facilities inside our factory headquarters," he added. He added that fans will be welcome to come to the workshops, they will be able to tour, look at an F1 car being designed and built. For them, that is the only way F1 will finally be popular in the US. Additionally, chief designer Ken Anderson said the first USF1 car would be built by this autumn and ready to take to the track for the first time in January when next season's winter testing ban is lifted.
