New racetrack in Texas, and it's in
Austin! Who'd a thunk it?
The organizers of the United States Grand Prix have unveiled the design of the all-new track in Austin, Texas. The Formula 1 circuit will host the USGP beginning in 2012 and is scheduled to continue until 2021.
The new purpose-built race course is 3.4 miles long with more than 20 turns winding through a 900-acre site about 5 miles south of the Austin airport. The facility will also include all the usual Formula 1 amenities like grandstands, natural seating along sections of the course, media center, and of course a state-of-the-art paddock and, we’re guessing, luxury boxes for those who want to avoid the Texas heat.
