But Austin, Texas is a long way from home.

Hopefully Canada can stick around and we can have two GP's in North America.
can't wait for dates to be set so i can reserve my hotel stay wayyy in advance. lol.
Maybe we can swing an Ofest there again.
I didn't understand though, would it be a street course?
Seems every track I read about has setbacks due to zoning and permit issues.
Thank goodness for the internet because I had no clue WTF you are talking about. :)

With enough money a track and the required infrastructure for an F1 race could be done in a year. I assume the City of Austin has a site in mind and the wherewithall to push through any bureaucratic hurdles. This plan certainly sounds for feasible that last week's rumored use of Monticello Motorsports Club in NY.
I think Tilke is going to deliver something along the lines of Yas Marina and not Spa. With 4 days of activities and the race only being 1.5 hours of which 80% is spent watching a screen anyway, one could really care less. It's close to home and is a fraction of the cost of Monaco. Hopefully Red Bull will be resolved by the rest of the teams and multiple tyre suppliers should make it fun. I will take it.
I was stationed in Germany for two and a half years. I made it to Spa, Nordschleife and Hockenheim as much as I could.
There is a pic of my S13 coming out of Sachs Curve at Hockenheim.
