American-based Cypher Group has lodged an official entry to become Formula 1’s 13th team in 2011.
Some of the personnel involved in the project worked on the ill-fated US F1 bid, but the team is a separate entity and has no links to US F1 bosses Ken Anderson or Peter Windsor. On its website, it says its aim is to "simply give America the shot it deserves [in F1]".
A statement added: "We have officially submitted our candidature and hope that we will shortly be selected by the FIA as the 13th entry in the 2011 FIA Formula 1 World Championship. We aspire to bring America's red, white, and blue back into Formula 1."
As part of the bid, Cypher has tied up with Jonathan Summerton, an American Indy Lights driver with experience in Formula 3 and A1 GP.
The statement continued: "Jonathan is capable of racing against the top Formula 1 drivers and we hope to be able to give him a competitive car. We look forward to the opportunity of being on the starting grid in 2011."
