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.

Maybe, but they allow these kinds of cameras at other GPs, like Montreal & Silverstone. It's written kind of ambiguously. I don't know what to think about it.Pup wrote:But then they also say that you are allowed to bring personal camera equipment, and give a pretty inclusive list of what that means.
It smells more like something that FOM is requiring, rather than the track. I mean, what do they care?
I think it's planned for a SPEED broadcast.Red Schneider wrote:I'm not going to this race, but I'm still kind of stoked for it. It would be awesome to actually see F1 highlights on ESPN, or on the main webpage of SI.com...
This may have been answered before, but does anyone know which network will carry the race? I'm guessing Fox.
Looks like the race will be at noon Austin time. It will get murdered by football. Oh well. I guess it would be on one of the niche channels at best then.
