'The elder Andretti divulged that F1’s possible 11th two-car team, to be named Andretti Global, would have its home base in England with the cars made at a yet-to-be-built “state-of-the-art” facility in Indianapolis near the team’s IndyCar and Indy Lights headquarters.'
Yes, that's pretty much what has been quoted from day one. They want to build a new megabucks factory in the US, although that's a bit mired at the moment, and a key USP is to build the cars there.
