Formula 1 in New Jersey from 2013
 
Interesting announcement made this evening - New Jersey will host the Formula 1 races for 10 years from 2013 (riverside location opposite New York City):

So will that be two Grand Prix in the states? Austin and NJ?
So a 'United States Grand Prix' and a 'Grand Prix of America'?

I am surprised there is anyone in the states who would watch F1 after 2005

Do the US organisers know that there will be right hand bends as well as left hand bends needed on the course?!:p

Looking forward to this if it really happens. NYC is about a 4 hour train ride from me.

It's a bit of a drive, but a doable day trip...wonder how painful they'll make the tickets and what the parking will be like....

And who didn't bribe whoever with enough cash to lose out this time around? :D

During the announcement, they said $360 for a 3-day ticket :unsure:

Seems like a rip off. The race in Austin has general admission starting at $250 which includes admission to the Moto GP and SCCA Trans Am events. Track doesn't excite me much either, looks like a crappier version of Montreal. So many great tracks they could have gone to in North America, this is totally underwhelming.

But you get the New York skyline. :lol::rofl:
That is why it is not cheap. But I am looking forward to the race though. I hope that this track produces good racing. Well shall see. :thumbup:
