Four years of intense preparation will culminate later today with the launch of the new USF1 team.
Peter Windsor and Ken Anderson, the men behind America's first F1 team in more than two decades, will today reveal their plans for the new outfit, launching on American-based Speed TV.
"We have spent time putting together the right infrastructure," Windsor told The Independent.
"In many ways we have done the really hard work, sourcing the right investment and sponsorship which will enable us to keep the team in the hands of the people who know what they are doing without the need to sell 80 per cent to a figurehead.
"We finally achieved our investment goals two weeks ago, and have the money to do what we want to do. We will be a lean and mean operation and will viciously control the head count.
"We always said that we would officially go public once we started to hire people. That moment has arrived."
As for rumours that the team could sign Danica Patrick, Windsor said: "We have yet to speak to any drivers, but we are looking at every American with the right credentials, and Danica is definitely on the list."
