The site location seems well suited for a race track and events center. It is very close to highways and to an international Airport. The geography is small hills and the track will certainly benefit from elevation. Click the picture to see a larger version. |

I love the layout! Four passing zones will be great. There is an RV area and some great elevated grassy areas. This will be a great venue for racing and concerts. I can't wait:) |

Here is the new USGP elevation map. 133 ft of elevation gain is awesome compared to the USGP in Indianapolis. I love that Tilke drew elemants from all the other track. Turn 8 from Turkey...are you kidding me...this will be the real deal! |

PRESS RELASE - TRACK REVEALED Members of the Formula 1 United States Grand PrixTM team feel that racing fans the world over will share their excitement as the track details are revealed. "In the modern era of Grand Prix racing, I think this track layout and topography will be very special," said Tavo Hellmund, Chairman of Formula 1 United States Grand PrixTM. "It will have many of the elements of previous ‘classic’ circuits combined with the benefits of FIA-mandated safety for the competitors and spectators alike. Add in the amenities fans have come to expect, like rare, multiple-turn viewing opportunities for added value, and you have an ideal, world-class venue." "For the competitors, we’ll have all the ingredients necessary," Hellmund said. "You’ll see fast turns that require commitment from the drivers and technical turns that will test the engineers from a set-up point of view. We have a good deal of elevation to make it not only scenic but challenging also, and the view of downtown Austin is wonderful as well." With a complete length of 3.4 miles, the track combines modern features with details reminiscent of traditional races from the 1960’s. The surrounding landscape will allow for a maximum elevation change of 133 feet, and the strategic combination of over 20 turns will please drivers and fans alike. Complete details of the track layout can be found here, which include an image of the track layout and a 3D version of change |
