F1 Rumors Again

[BigAls87Z28]

WSJ is saying that F1 will announce that it will have a race in North Jersey.

[LTb1ow]

This is relevant to my interests.. how?

[69BirdX]

F1 series has been hurting hasn't it?

[Blackbirdws6]

Would watch

[Blacdout96]

I will go watch, but I feel it will become the U.S. GP at Las Vegas. Great race, different style circuit then the usuals, but there will be low attendance, which will be it's demise.

[Tru2Chevy]

There has been on and off talk for a while about them running a street circuit in the greater Hoboken area. I haven't heard anything about it in a few months, but maybe they have worked out some of the logistics.

From what I've heard a Northern NJ GP (called the NY GP) will probably never happen. For two reasons 1) The host city has to pay Bernie/F1 the equivalent of $40 million USD (Monaco is the only city exempt from this fee) 2) All proposed circuit locations are situated in high residential areas.

I'd love to see a NJ/NY circuit.....but sadly i doubt it will ever happen.

[Mike]

they announced in racer magazine yesterday that it is very likely to be adjacent to the canadian gp in 2013, in weehawkin on the banks of the hudson....

i am leaning heavily towards buying tickets to the austin gp next year

[LS1ow]

potholes.

[WildBillyT]

I went to a CART race at the Meadowlands when I was younger. Was a good time.

I'd go to an F1 race in the NYC area without question.

Same here...would love to be able to see them race, especially at a north jersey street circuit.

[BurninrubberGT]

supposed to announce it tomorrow, this is going to be awesome, now I dont have to decide whether to go see f1 or the aussie v8's in 2013, i can financially do both with a race here

[BigAls87Z28]

Yeah, 2013 is gunna be a great racing year for the US. I plan on going to Austin as well.

[coolmanvette75]

I heard this morning that its official. 2013 streets of weahawkin

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

[LS1ow]

soon as they release the layout of the coarse... i will go try it for myself

[LTb1ow]

You and stalker gonna run it?

[LS1ow]

knowing nick, hell be doing it on foot. i however, will die if i try to run that.

[LTb1ow]

Wait, it will be just like random public roads?

[LS1ow]

yea. its gunna be ran the weehawken and West NewYork. some of the roads are going to be redone. which will NOT be paid for by NJ. the Start/Finish line is gunna be right outfront the NY Ferry Terminal

[LTb1ow]

So, one could spike strip dark back roads ?

[LS1ow]

well there is gunna be barriers and ****... but its possible. id rather just disable one, grab it with the self loader and bring it home

[LTb1ow]

An F1 car?

There is not much to them for you to ruin, not sure if its something you want.

[LS1ow]

i have a Go kart that can use some of there parts.

[LTb1ow]

And by go kart, you mean we are gonna have a life size mario cart race in hoboken?

[LS1ow]

And by go kart, you mean we are gonna have a life size mario cart race in hoboken?

my dad build a kart for my bro when he was my age. its more of a dune buggy(trailer wheels/tires are used as its wheels) powered by an old atv motor. and it now resides in our storage trailer because the motor is shot, and we have nothing to power it with.

[LS1ow]

...this is were you say put a 4BT in it.

[LTb1ow]

4bt would be heavy, 2JZ doe brah....

[LS1ow]

i wish. more realistic goal is a B18 doe...

[LTb1ow]

Just throw a seat and wheels on a 6BT

[LS1ow]

if i had a 6BT layin around itd be in a notch fox body

[Tru2Chevy]

Champ car, not F1. Similar in ways.

[WildBillyT]

FYI, this is titled the Grand Prix of America.

[BigAls87Z28]

Texas is gunna LOOOOOOOOOOVE that considering they are getting F1 in Austin.

Too bad for them.

[donnj]

Austin is out? http://www.autoweek.com/article/20111116/F1/111119894

[coolmanvette75]

^^^ read the same thing. Wonder why.

[LS1ow]

i still drive on the route for the coarse once a week lol


...sometime i make racecar noised and wear my helmet....

[Tru2Chevy]

^^^ read the same thing. Wonder why.

Did you read the article? It's all about money and power struggles (and likely them being pissed about the NJ race).

- Justin

[crainholio]

No left turns in this race, Jersey Jughandles instead?

NJSP pulling cars over on-course?

Toll Plazas in the straightaways? (EZ-Pass fuggaddaboudit)

Only one hand signal...and we know what finger that is.

Gotta have that unique Jersey flavor of course...

[BurninrubberGT]

hopefully either nj or austin pull through by the time rossi is in a car, would be great to see a good american driver on home turf in f1

[BurninrubberGT]

bump from the dead! lol

encouraging news, vettel to take a lap around the proposed track-

This is going down right where I'm a firefighter.

[donnj]

New Jersey Grand Prix Postponed Indefinitely ......

[Tru2Chevy]

I haven't seen anything about an indefinite postponement, everything I've read says they are just pushing back to 2014 because the organizers here didn't account for all the details involved in planning and have run out of time to get it done for 2013.
