The USF1 team has confirmed that its European base will be located at Spain’s Motorland Aragón circuit. With the main facility of the American team in Charlotte, the Spanish site will be used for operations during the European season, which in 2010 will run from May to September with the exception of the Canadian Grand Prix in June.

With USF1 headed by Team Principal Ken Anderson and Sporting Director Peter Windsor, the latter explained to reporters in Abu Dhabi that the base in Spain will be used chiefly for development and logistics jobs, as well as some (permitted) testing at the track.

The circuit hosted World Series by Renault testing this week

“It’s is the ideal motorsport complex for USF1’s European operation,” Windsor said on Friday. “From the excellent location and weather to the rich racing heritage and diverse track configurations, Motorland will provide the first American team in over 40 years with the perfect facility to manage the 2010 season plus train for 2011 and beyond.”

“We’re thrilled to call it our European home,” Ken Anderson added of the venue which is found in the province of Teruel, roughly halfway between capital Madrid and Barcelona, host city of the Spanish Grand Prix.
