USF1 is dead.

[F1000X]

The team may be dead, but as you possibly know from the reject Youtube thread, their Youtube account isn't.

Neither their Twitter account: http://twitter.com/#!/USF1Team

Didn't know where to post this, so feel free to move it.

Are they thinking of rising from the ashes?

They have embarrassed my country enough. There will never be an American F1 team ever again.

The last entries, at least of the twitter account, are from the beginning of last year. It's simply a case of the account not being closed down and the last thing one would bother with in a bankrupt company would be the deletion of social network accounts. Nothing to see there, really.

[Ferrim]

Of course Klon, but it still surprises to me that no one bothered to close them, no matter how bankrupt the company went.

Remember the Pacific website? Which remained open for 15 years, absolutely unaltered?

There.

I strongly suspect that we don't know the whole story of that.

If it had been online for 15 years, it would be available in the Internet Archive, but it isn't, and someone would have found it much earlier. If you look for pacificgrandprix.com you find copies of an absolutely unrelated website. The website we found a couple of years ago popped up from absolutely nowhere, and then disappared.

I don't know if it was genuine or a dud, but it looked the part.

[Ferrim]

Nah, I'm pretty sure it was genuine. But I don't think it was there the whole time since 1995.

That Pacific website I had it on my favourite list and I found it in 1998 I think and it only dissapeared about 2 years ago. For at least 10 years I can say I had it and it was up and running.

You've just destroyed my idea.

[Paul Hayes]

And who the hell would go to the effort of making a fake 1995-vintage website for a defunct F1 team?

[Ferrim]

I didn't thought it was fake, but that maybe someone decided to reupload it at a much later date. But whatever I thought was wrong

[Phoenix]

It was just abandoned - probably at the time Keith Wiggins had so many problems to deal with that removing the website from the net was negligble by comparison.

[f1-gast]

The website is still online with the magic archiver !
