Circuit of The Americas today announced that it has been declared ready to host the 2012 F1 United States GP by Charlie Whiting, who directs racing, safety and technical matters for the FIA. Whiting visited the Central Texas racing circuit as part of a scheduled pre-race inspection and approved the circuit for “Grade 1” status, hence appropriate to host an F1 race.

Last I heard, which was a loooong time ago, they were favoring 2 DRS zones here (front straight and back straight).godlameroso wrote:I hope the DRS zone is on the main straight and not down the back one

Can't remember the exact date. They originally said 90 days out from the race, which would be ~Aug 18. It was changed to 60 days, so ~Sep 17.xpensive wrote:And FIA's final inspection is when again?
So the 60-day inspection is something like 53 days from the race...Pup wrote:The pre-race inspection is Sept. 25.
