Haas commented on the
approval today, saying, “Obviously, we’re extremely pleased to have been granted a Formula One
license by the FIA. It’s an exciting time for me, Haas Automation and anyone
who wanted to see an American team return to Formula One.
“Now, the really hard work begins. It’s a
challenge we embrace as we work to put cars on the grid. I want to thank the
FIA for this opportunity and the diligence everyone put forth to see our
license application come to fruition.”
Founded in 1983 and
based in Oxnard, Calif., Haas Automation is the largest CNC machine tool
builder in the western world. Haas also founded Windshear, a 180-mph
rolling-road wind tunnel in Concord, N.C., that is the first of its kind in
North America. It is only the third rolling-road wind tunnel of its scale in
existence and the world’s first commercially available, full-scale,
rolling-road wind tunnel.
Stewart-Haas Racing won
the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship in 2011.
Haas is expected to
announce more details in a press
conference on Monday in the Charlotte, N.C., area
