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.

From Turn 15 you will likely be able to see all of the stadium section (of course), all the way back to T11, and the cars climbing up and over the hill between 8 and 10. The T1 GS is not at the top of the hill, so the view looks a bit limited. From what I've heard, it is, and that's why the T1 GS did not sell well, leading to it's reduction by a couple of sections. It looks like you'll really only be able to see the cars from 20 until they disappear around turn 1.Mr Alcatraz wrote:Hairy,
I have my tickets, including parking and my arrangements for my ride on the three seater at "The Driveway" I was told I was getting premium tickets either T1 or T15, I would have preferred having T1 but I was given T15 row 25 in the Stadium I question how premium this view really is. Do you have any insight into this vantage point? Thanks
See ya''awl boys there
They were chosen for me by the FIA so I never had a choice They had said that the package I got for being a major donor to Boys Town of Southern Nevada for two is worth Ten Large !!hairy_scotsman wrote:From Turn 15 you will likely be able to see all of the stadium section (of course), all the way back to T11, and the cars climbing up and over the hill between 8 and 10.

Given the choice of the 2, I'd honestly take T15.

Yep,,,Just awful. Thank You for your input.jdlive wrote:It's too late for this year but I hope they plant some trees or put whatever things next to the track. It looks very bald now, even worse than Korea. Not fun to watch races on, neither live nor on tv. Track doesn't look great neither when Andretti drove around it.

No photo, but I can tell you it's been leveled & resurfaced (only portions feeding track entrances). No widening or improved shoulders.richard_leeds wrote:HS - Have you got a pic of what Elroy Rd looks like now?
And rightfully so. As Mr. Jefferson said, "History will not judge the greatness of our nation by its actions, but rather by its architecture."Mr Alcatraz wrote:And the wall, that ungodly free stack wall, what a sham, I hate my country
