Where be CBNY?

Formula 1 will hold a Grand Prix in New Jersey in 2013, West New York mayor Felix Roque has claimed.

The United States will feature on the Formula 1 calendar for the first time since 2007 with next year's race in Austin, Texas.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie could announce the deal at a press conference scheduled for Tuesday.

Roque said: "It's incredible. This is going to be an economic boom for this whole region."

It has been claimed that the race will take place on a four-lane motorway that runs alongside the Hudson River in Weehawken, West New York.

"It will provide a very challenging course," West New York attorney Joe DeMarco said.

"They compare it to Spa in Belgium but it will have the feel of Monaco."

Lewis Hamilton won the last US Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2007.

The event's eight-year run there came to an end when F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone failed to agree new terms with the circuit's owners.

Ecclestone's plans to take a race to the New York area were first revealed when he began talks with representatives of Monticello Motor Club (MMC) in New York in 2009.

Austin-based promoters Full Throttle Productions overcame competition from MMC to stage a race at a purpose-built track with a deal through to 2021.

But, two years on, a deal has now been reached with a consortium of investors and city and state governments for a race to take place in New Jersey.

[QUOTE=pauliec;4207813]Announced today, there will be an F1 road race in Weehawken/West New York in June of 2013. Apparently this is a big deal. Organizers said they can expect 100,000 spectators and $100 billion in revenue.

Is anyone here an F1 fan? I know CBNY is but I haven't seen him in a dog's age.

I think it's cool that they won't have to move any land around or build anything beyond grandstands and fences... the track will be on all existing roads.

I assume they will have to pave the roads.

However, I bet those roads will be closed for a couple of weeks prior to set it up for viewing and racing, sounds like a nightmare.

Obviously it's a more prestigious race, but is it not a street race?
