United States Grand Prix - Formula One (F1) - Austin

[Slowhand]

Fantastic end to the race!

Bernie himself, just said on live TV that America will happen, there's no question mark.

Is this not literally how each of the last 3 or 4 new venues have gone in F1? Hell, Korea wasn't inspected and given the go ahead by the FIA until a week before its first fucking Formula 1 GP! India was only finished two weeks before its inaugural race and Abu Dhabi was finished within a month of its race date.

korea was a cluster fuck. everything around the track was mud, hopefully that doesnt happen here. india did a great job.

if you read FIA rules and regulations you will know right quick, that is not the pavement that will be raced on. FIA requires a seamless surface, of which it takes a special machine, which both that exist in the world are not in the United States at the moment....

Well, all that fake money has gotten this fake facility underway.

Yup! Promoter is gambling a bit unless they got a waiver from bernie. I was told the specified asphalt could not be bought in the states.....good thing is the av8 supercar series will run on anything! That is what i am saving my ticket dollars for!

You know your cars and tracks for damn sure. But you don't know your logistics lol. First, it would be easy to get the pavers over here with a little money. Second, I wouldn't be surprised of it was a custom machine and or process.

I know nothing of track creation and preparation bit found this article neat. How consistent is this information?

In before Grape comes back in to tell us how it's definitely not happening.

Not that it's definitely happening, but it's looking good. ALMS just joined the ranks of 2013 race series coming to Austin as well.

hey, at what point in the checkout process does the $100 deposit kick in? I'm trying to buy two GA tickets and it says i'm paying full price.

if you did the $100 deposit you should have gotten an email saying to apply your $100 towards presale. has a single use code in the email and place to pick your seat is broken down to 1 seat (-$100) where you enter that code.

I wish i was a dfwmustanger millionaire!

i got an email for having the $100 deposit this morning for PSLs that i never got to use so it let me apply code and purchase.

i thought i was special but then i got a generic email for being signed up on the waiting list.
