F1 Happening in NJ - Some new pics

Tickets are supposedly "being sold" the catch is you have to by a personal seat license which then allows you to nab tickets or some crazy scheme. It really hasn't been explained very well on their website or if you contact COTA for info. I for one and a little disappointed in how Austin is panning out. I really wanted to go this year, but I think I'll scrap it and wait for everything to be figured out first. I know hotels have been a problem as well. I think the city of Austin and surrounding area are completely sold out so people are being forced to stay elsewhere since there aren't enough rooms.

I snapped a few pictures from on top of the hill in Weehawken coming home the other day. The paddock is huge now.

I can't wait for when they finally have to resurface the track and it causes traffic nightmares down here. LOL

Austin>NJ

 

so here is some strange update.

F1 not happening in NJ or is it.....

Bernie Ecclestone has, for a third time, questioned the viability of next year's scheduled New Jersey street race.
Organisers have consistently sounded puzzled by the F1 chief executive's continual scepticism.
The 81-year-old's latest comments prompted race president Tom Cotter to insist that preparations for the event amid the Manhattan skyline are actually ahead of schedule.
But when asked if the race will go ahead next year, Ecclestone told the BBC on Saturday: "No. Definitely, no."
Confusingly, he then added: "If they can get it (the circuit) completed and confirm to us it will be done, for sure, they'll be on the calendar."
After the recent Canadian grand prix, Sebastian Vettel and David Coulthard travelled to New Jersey for a promotional event to sample in road cars the curves of the proposed layout.
"The circuit is not anywhere near close to being ready," Red Bull driver Vettel admitted, "but as I said, it would be great."
Former grand prix driver Coulthard added: "They think they're ahead of schedule. They're talking about 12 months from now, but it's a lot of work -- the road is so bowed in the middle."
