Within days we have had the news that the Grand Prix in New Jersey will not take place next year after all, as there were construction problems linked to the circuit…and we have Mario Andretti driving around the new F1 circuit in Austin, Texas and pronouncing it: “Phenomenal.”  Still two more races to go before we get there, though….

“It’s everything I expected and more,” Andretti said. “The track is phenomenal.

“It has all the features that you are looking for, giving you the opportunity to overtake, while negotiating some tighter corners. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into it.”
