First Official USF1 Type 1 full 3D image (render)

[Giuseppe F1]

From today's F1 RACING Magazine following a factory tour by the mag - at least we know what the car MAY look like now at least!:

I doubt this 'blue' is the final livery - merely just a generic colour for the render.

Rumour is the car if it does happen will have an 'AAR Eagle Blue with white stripe livery'

Yawn. Yet another picture of a car that should be built by now.

[UltimateDanGTR]

Seeing that car in real life is about as likely as seeing elvis return from the dead. in my opinion at least. USF1 are on the verge of collapse unfortunatly, and i dont think its long before conformation of the team's failure is made....

[Dave B]

F1 Racing used to employ Windsor as a consultant editor, so I guess they're acting as a propoganda mouthpiece for the team. Publishing deadlines being what the are, the team was already in its death throes by the time the ink dried on the page.

Hmmm, I can see that picture on F1 Rejects one day under the title "the car that never was"

[gloomyDAY]

Mine is so much better!

Nice detail work round the wing mirror ;) :p

The OP pic is nearly two months old.

Lets move on now.

Naah, keep it going for a while just to make sure the subject is, truly, unequivocably, flogged, beaten, run into the ground buried-dead.

Thats Brilliant

Who needs tens of thousands of dollars and months of CFD research and CGI imagery to come up with that when a much better version of it can be made on MS paint in minutes for nowt :laugh:

And look.....the sponsorship problem is also sorted. Steve Winn seems to have put his hand in his pocket! :D

Yawn. Yet another picture of a car that should be built by now.

If ever there was an understatement.

Virgin set and met their deadline for actually placing the composites in June 2009 otherwise Nick Wurth said they would have been in deep trouble.

And USF1 have not even reached that stage yet?!!!

I don't know much about racing car construction but based on Virgin's comment it is unlikely that USF1 will have a car on the grid for the LAST race never mind a three or four race extension.

The FIA as much as I detest them should step in and stop this ridiculous comedy, giving the berth to Stefan GP or someone else, such as Pro-Drive for 2011.

If USF1 were a stock, their share price would have been worth a nominal ONE CENT by now.

[Saint Devote]

F1 Racing used to employ Windsor as a consultant editor, so I guess they're acting as a propoganda mouthpiece for the team. Publishing deadlines being what the are, the team was already in its death throes by the time the ink dried on the page.

I assume you are kidding?

If not - Haymarket are the publishers and I cannot believe they would okay a puff piece. On the other hand they allow their Autosport grand prix editor to twist whatever Hamilton does into something amazing.

Obviously one cant blame Hamilton for such rubbish and sadly the standard of objectivity at Autosport were a while ago compromised.

[gloomyDAY]

Naah, keep it going for a while just to make sure the subject is, truly, unequivocably, flogged, beaten, run into the ground buried-dead.You're right. Not another word out of me against USF1.

[Hondo]

Can you imagine how many playsets USF1 had to buy to get that many blue Legos?

[Dave B]

Talking of F1 Racing magazine, is it worth reading nowadays? I stopped buying it when it was full of self-important drivel from Peter Windsor and Matt Bishop, but have things improved recently?

[V12]

All USF1-bashing aside (I'm not saying they don't deserve it though!), it's a shame as I actually quite like the look of the car, the nose is quite distinctive, and it would have been a nice addition to the grid.

I agree it would probably make a nice main picture for an F1 Rejects article

[jens]

Now I can see, what USF1 meant with their "revolutionary approach". While Virgin built a car based on CFD, USF1 has gone one level further and decided to create a car purposely designed for CFD-racing. That's the future of the racing world. :p :

[Dave B]

CFD-racing.
As in "Can't Feckin' Do"? :p
