Vettel and Coultard test drive the course slated for 2013. You have to enjoy Vettels comments.

Thanks for the link.

I'm not sure if I'd be a fool not to go to a F1 race so close to where I live, or whether I'd be a fool to try to attend a NY F1 race (and deal with the mob scene) in its inaugural year.

I'm excited about this... though I echo Phils sentiment. The closest parking spot I might get is in my driveway in Allentown.

So long as they have open eyes about the human logistics, it'll be a good event.

[GRN6IX]

Are they pre-selling tickets for this race?

[Oliver@triplezoom]

Definitely considering going to this one.

It's either that or Spa or Monza next year, hopefully.

I will be there!

This has me conflicted at well. This is closer than Austin but the fact that it is so close to NYC makes for scary logistics. I am going to see how the Austin GP goes this year.

Now the question is will the NYC and Austin GP swap every other year? I can't see ole' Bernice allowing two GPs in the US.

waiting for the NYC GP. there will be ferries from manhattan. i'm guessing there will be shuttle buses from Giant's Stadium at the Meadowlands.

Watching the video and the proximity of the track to houses in the area, how is the NIMBY crowd not complaining yet? Maybe they not yet realized how loud F1 circus can be..

If I go, I'm parking at the closest train station. This is a public transportation special.

I'm just curious how Eccelstone with gouge the NY market for tickets.

pffff it's lawn-guy-land

Getting to the track will likely be easier than it is at events without serious public transportation. The masses will be arriving at the race via PATH train, Ferry, and NJ Transit trains & buses. Although F1 has a major impact on some cities (Montreal for instance), it's likely that 70% of NYC will have no idea the race is even going on.

Can't wait for this... I grew up in NY and spent a lot of time in Weehawken and West NY... The sounds of the cars will be wonderful!

No date has been chosen yet right?

(too soon to start trying to pick a hotel?)

Don't be so modest.

And the Jersey police will ticket all the drivers for breaking the speed limit
