Fans of Formula One, rejoice! A second US Grand Prix has been confirmed, and it’s in New Jersey.
It will join the Formula One calendar in 2013 and will be titled, the ‘Grand Prix of America’, joining the other ‘Merican race in Austin, Texas that kicks off next year.
The new 3.2m street circuit will run through West New York and Weehawken, with the Manhattan skyline and the banks of the Hudson River serving as a background.
New Jersey state governor Chris Christie said: “The race will be run on existing roads through Port Imperial and at the top of the Palisades. People from the whole world will come to New Jersey to see this unique and exciting course.”
Designed by Herman Tilke, the new circuit is described as being similar to Spa but with the feel of Monaco.
