Cross posting for those who never go into Racing. USGP will be held in Austin, Tx starting in 2012. Building the track. Jurgen is stoked.
Is this F-ing real???? Sweet!!! Wow!!!! I'm freaking speechless. Thanks for posting this here. I do not go into the racing area here. I have dreamed about F1 coming back to the Us... and now t s coming to my city. wow. This s awesome.
Two years from now. . . I wonder where the track will be? They must have their environmental assessments, construction permits, financing, contractors, etc. all in place and ready to go . . .
WOW! Woudn't have guessed that in a million years. So where is the money coming from to build the track? Dibs on Jurgen's couch!!!!
I don't live there... just a mere 13 hours at Google speed away... (is that 11 in time?) I do have friends there and a relative in SanAntone...
I don't know why I thought you lived in Austin. You have SpeedTV? I'll just hang at your house and watch the race!
Austin?? WTF? They couldn't find a city further away from me?? Any word on whether that dumb fuck Tilke will be the "designer"?
that is EXACTLY what my initial thoughts were....I just checked and its 85 degrees outside, so hell likely has not frozen over and its not April 1....but, this borders on impossible to believe.
The old airport site would have been a good place for a track, but they have already messed that all up. The treehuggers are already crying. http://www.statesman.com/blogs/cont...010/05/25/mayor_formula_one_is_coming_to.html
That turned rather quickly! Would love to see an F1 race in the US, but a purpose built track is awful expensive and I don't see a city or state ponying up cash to get a track built. I also doubt any populace would vote for a tax increase to build a track. So where is the money coming from?
