Wednesday, September 1, 2010 14:31 by Arman Barari
The layout of Austin track, home of next year’s US Grand Prix, has been revealed by the promoter Tavo Hellmund. Like other new Formula 1 circuits, this one too is designed by Hermann Tilke and it features copies of some of the famous corners from other race tracks. The Austin Track which is located in Texas will have three ideal overtaking places, and sections that resemble Silverstone’s Becketts, the Stadium section at Hockenheim, and Turn 8 in Turkey. It also has a main straight where cars can speed up to 200 mph.

Being a foreigner, and also not living in the states, all i can say is if you get it right, your city and state will see the benefit, and believe that you are the envy of many countries and cities around the world. In some ways im lucky being in europe as we have so many choices of races to visit but the cost of tickets is ridiculous, where as with the spectators set up the way it is in america tickets will be significantly cheaper. all i hope is that this track is better than Tilke’s other efforts, which are quite dull, but to be fair he has to work to modern safety constraints – barrier placement, sufficient run off’s etc – that other older tracks such as spa francorchamps never had to worry about when they were built / designed. so once again, support it and enjoy it as if it works and you get behind it you will see the benefit that F1 can bring
