The USA GP has a new bidder.....
http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/2010/05/2...rand-prix-bid/
Monticello Motor club in New york is attempting to host the USA grand prix. apparently Tilke approves of the circuit and says with a few grandstand modifications it could be up to F1 standards.
but any race track with 'club' in it's name seems a bit ambitious for F1. this is one to watch as the journey could be interesting, though i can't see it happening.Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

Nice track layout, but it will need an enormous investment to get it up to scratch. We can dream though...

Would be great, but alas, this seems like a rather smart way to get your new facility into the headlines.

The track looks like one of the minor British tracks, or even has a bit of a Brands Hatch feel, from looking at the video. I'm thinking of the curves and changes in gradient. The weather would be "interesting" there too, could be like Spa in that sense.
But it doesn't have a lot of obvious passing spots, and it seems kind of narrow for modern F1. The race could turn out to be another Hungarian GP.
It's near New York City, and not too far away from Montreal, so you could see it fitting in nicely a week after or before the Canadian GP. But who'd go?
The only way F1 is going to take off in the US is if they have some kind of promotional F1 drivers vs American drivers series, with the best of each series competing in different races and different cars.

Two issues that I see
It's a club circuit with virtually no instrastructure besides the track itself.
Also, I think it's too close in distance to Montreal. Canada is only about 4 hours of so North. Even though I am in Connecticut, I would prefer to to see a USGP farther west.
