BBC F1 2011 Circuit of the Americas

[@GetitOnJeff]

I heard that people in the USA want´s to go to F1 in Spa sometimes. well, me as a Spa visiter every year want to say that the circuit of the americans and new jersey is a gived for them! enjoy the sound you guys missed so many years! be proud of it! :)

[@enisylo]

Enjoy it my friend, the way the season is shaping so far, it seems that every race will be an absolute scorcher!

[@marshgatelaneposse]

Good luck Austin track looks stunning

[@redluca56]

I love the sound of this track. I think every country deserves one race but it shouldn't be two in a country that prefers NASCAR and Indycar. Most countries are unbelieveably lucky to have one GP no matter how passionate they are!

[@aberamagold7509]

Driving in COTA in an F1 car while it was just dirt would be a riot to do.

[@metalcrackmonkey]

this race is coming up and i swear if i had the money ill buy a ticket for myself get my car and drive from Cali to Texas just to see this, next year i am going to austin to watch the next f1 race

[@juan1189]

I live 1600 miles in Washington, DC and am going....who ever says there is no F1 interest is crazy.

[@JamesRodriguez10783]

Grande kimi Grande kimi ....

[@MikeNoran]

You're welcome, Doctor Professor.

[@im1greatman]

If you look at the map, north New Jersey is technically a borough of NYC. It's ok though, we all want the F1 circuit in the NY Metropolitan Area.

[@GoukiLoki]

Part of me wouldn't mind seeing a F1 car ride in dirt, like Tony Stewart's Prelude to the Dream race. I think that would be mega intriguing.

[@TeamNoLimits865]

Yeah. F1 is British. But it was organized and is owned by the FIA, which is French. The biggest race of the year is in Monaco. 18/19 races this year are in countries outside of the UK. Races stretch from Melbourne to Valencia and from Montreal to Abu Dhabi. Formula 1 is a GLOBAL sport.

[@Breakfast__Burrito]

90% huh? Wow, thanks for doing those very scientific and unbiased calculations

[@MrLatinobiker]

im in houston and that for sure that im goint on nvember....count me in....

[@Krys_P]

@tjbayliss Singapore is a great street circuit and the most demanding for all the drivers

[@aberamagold7509]

"You don't at football in Yankee stadium" I get his point but a lot of football games have been played in, the old, Yankee Stadium.

[@Finallybianca]

Wish I could be there.

[@tristraaf]

If we've had 77 grand prix's here in Australia I'm sure there'd be a pretty decent reception for F1 in the US too. Much shorter distance

[@xshx19]

New Jersey. Not New York City. It's on the other side of the river.

[@despondence]

The fuck there isn't interest in Formula one in America. I live over 1000 miles away from this track, and I will damn sure be at this race in November.

[@22bjonah]

are they going to have open track days?

[@HendrickFan2488548]

I know but it's the NYC area. Same concept.

[@jelof21]

america has grown accustomed to cars going around in a circle, so once that education aspect gets out there, the excitement will follow best words from an American

[@inasafeplace]

I wish we won't have a race under snow :P

[@dirtysouth806]

Fuckin' awesome!!!

[@HendrickFan2488548]

There will be one in NYC in 2013. :)

[@markc8956]

Still prefer the road course at Indy,only just

[@SuperR1991]

man i hope to go next yr gonna take a mexican flag to support sergio perez since.im mexican also

[@jcynavarro]

Give me some of that Kangaroo Burger!! hell yeah.. and that Antelope burger sounds good too!

[@mulleh07]

I can't believe they let that car on the dirt..

[@Miklos82]

The track was still under construction and hadn't yet been paved. Just Red Bull doing another PR stunt.

[@BryonLape]

They are gonna race on dirt?? Awesome!!

[@dontcaremail1]

This "thought" that F1 isn't popular in the US is bullshit. NASCAR may get more TV time, but anyone who knows a thing about true, pure racing. Man and machine, knows that Formula One is far and away the better sport. F1 is not a mainstay in the US because of geography only, the logistics of getting every team here for races every year is just too big of an expense for F1 and the teams that's the truth. If they did race here every year, it would become a lot bigger.

[@jcynavarro]

talk about a HERP A DERP... at 0:48

[@TheGojira84]

There are only 5 out of 19 tracks that are ovals in indycar this year. Do your fucking research.

[@BrendaLV92]

That car is fast? are you serious?!? lol

[@jelof21]

forever better than NASCAR

[@MikeNoran]

Because 90% of your country couldn't point to Europe on a map, yet alone know European sports.

[@ObeyTheSystem93]

2:26 pfffffffffft that will NEVER happen

[@MikeNoran]

That's like saying baseball isn't American.

[@iDontFinishAnyt]

That's so far from the truth.

[@carsismeZ06]

Motor racing is NOT a European sport. Formula One isn't either.
