U.S. Formula 1: New Circuit of the Americas Track

[vdcoff]

I searched and didn't see anything about this, sorry if repost.

Has anyone been following this at all. They just build a brand new road course track in austin, TX for the formula 1 series. It looks like an awesome track and I would love to go to one of these races in the future or even take my wrx on it.

Jersey track looks fairly boring, but that Texas track is freakin awesome. Can't wait for this race.

You have to drive it in person to appreciate it. I use to live in the area and drove those roads in NJ regularly. The track will be a lot more technical than people realize and also it should have quote a bit more passing opportunities than a typical F1 race if they use the full width of the roads. Also the views will be amazing. If I'm not back in school by the time the race happens, I'm going to try to get work to send me back to that part of NJ so I can be there for the race.

As a side note, you can currently get some great deals on the apartments located along the course by the river.
