In recent weeks, the return of F1 in the United States was much talk. Bernie Ecclestone, the commercial rights manager of the league, hoping for a street race around New York.
A project in Jersey City was abandoned and another on a permanent circuit located in Monticello, at half past one in Manhattan, has been mentioned.
Finally, it is in Texas, near the city of Austin, a formula that will happen. A circuit will be built to accommodate the Grand Prix of the United States from the 2012 season.
F1 finally anchored the U.S.
So far, the F1 had only visited the existing circuits or non-permanent United States. The championship took place at Watkins Glen on street circuits and in Long Beach, Las Vegas, Detroit, Dallas and Phoenix. Between 2000 and 2007, the United States Grand Prix was held at the Indianapolis circuit, with a portion from inside the oval of the legendary 500.
"For the first time in the history of Formula 1 in the U.S., the world-class facilities will be built to host the event," said Bernie Ecclestone.
With this circuit, the last F1 ensures its long term future in the United States. The contract is until season 2021.Source URL: https://maryelizabeth-winstead.blogspot.com/2010/05/f1-grand-prix-in-2012-in-texas-united.html
