mrs.cos Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Woot! F1 Back in the US on the schedule! http://assets.circuitoftheamericas.com/cota_press/assets/news/110810/COTA_RaceDatePressRelease_081011.pdf AUSTIN, Texas – August 10, 2011 – Formula One’s Bernie Ecclestone was quoted today in the media confirming earlier reports of a revised 2012 F1 schedule, placing the United States Grand Prix on November 18, 2012. The schedule, which contains numerous adjustments from the calendar issued in June by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile, is not considered official until the World Motor Sports Council ratifies it at its meeting later this year..... For those living under a rock, F1 will now be in Austin Texas, at the newly in process build of the Circuit of the Americas. This date is MUCH better than the previous date they had planned which was July ?? of next year.. Austin Texas, Middle of July= Suck.

Trouble Maker Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Already going to Hawaii and maybe England next year, but the gears are still turning in my head of how to swing this. I've wanted to visit Austin for a while anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Very cool, guess I've been under a rock because I didn't know they were even considering something like this seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 I'm so excited. Austin TX > Indy by such an absurd margin. Hell, Baghdad > Indy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1647545532 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Previous date was in June. This is a massive improvement. I've already got it on my calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOPR Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 This ruins my plan to take a week off and do both austin and montreal . Should be a nice improvement in weather, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Austin has got it going on right now. This is a good date for this as summer is just too hot for this down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitamincj Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Wow! That is sweet! I wanna go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 It won't be cheap, but I plan to go. If the prices are similar to the Canadian Grand Prix, I'll probably go with the Regular Package. I'd love to go VIP or Paddock, but that's a big chunk of change that could go into the cars.

gaewsky1 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I've been hoping this would be true. I just had a buddy and his wife move to Austin. I guess I'll be going to my first F1 race:fuckyeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
