Andretti has begun a move into a new facility on the Silverstone Park estate as its F1 project continues to progress, and the plan is to also occupy an adjacent larger building.
Assuming that the team’s F1 entry eventually gets a green light, it will base F3 and F2 programmes at the new site.
The intention is also to move the Formula E team from its current base in nearby Banbury and potentially add a sportscar programme as well.
"This is going to be mainly for F1, these two facilities,” said Michael Andretti. “But we also want to bring in our Formula E team and start integrating it here.
“Our goal is to have an F3/F2 team to help support the F1 team, and then maybe even a WEC team. So we want to make this our hub for the European racing. So a lot of a lot of cool plans in this area.”
Andretti noted that promoting American talent is the main aim for the twin junior category programmes, although they won’t be restricted to those hailing from the US.
"It's not just American drivers, but it'll be a good ladder for American drivers,” he told Autosport. “We're going to still be looking for the best talent in the world.
