“There were issues sponsor-wise in January that knocked us back a few weeks, and those meant we couldn’t make it in 2010,” the team's principal Ken Anderson told the BBC. “No one said it was easy, and we went out on a limb to design and build our own car.”
Anderson said the team had submitted an application to the FIA to rejoin the series in 2011.
Bloomberg reports that a bid by a Serbian team, Stefan GP, to replace USF1 was rejected by the FIA. Stefan GP released a statement four days ago saying it had the “desire” and “ability” to race in 2010, and planned to use a car built by Toyota before that manufacturer withdrew from the racing series.
