New Jersey announces 2013 F1 Grand Prix of America

Race promoter Leo Hindery Jr., executive chairman of F1 GP of New Jersey, announced that USA will play host to 2 rounds of the Formula 1 season from 2013 onwards after official confirmation of a race on the banks of the Hudson River in New Jersey wich will be known as the Grand Prix of America.The event will run on existing roads through Port Imperial with 3.2 mile street circuit running through West New York and Weehawken with Manhattan serving as a backdrop to the race.The new circuit, which will feature a range of elevation changes, is described as being similar to Spa but with the feel of Monaco (because of stretch, with a long uphill climb [à la Sainte Devote to Casino Square] a sharp downhill with a hairpin, and then a relatively flat, high-speed section running along the waterline) and is set to be designed by Herman Tilke.
Unlike the event in Austin, Texas which will join the F1 schedule next year, the Grand Prix of America will not be subsidised by public funds.
Up to 100.000 people were expected to attend across practice, qualifying and race day.
Presentation F1 America circuit for 2013:


New Jersey found in the Northeastern and Middle Atlantic regions of the United States it is bordered on the north and east by the state of New York, on the southeast and south by the Atlantic Ocean, on the west by Pennsylvania and on the southwest by Delaware. New Jersey's climate divides into regions with the south, central, and northeast parts of the state have a humid mesothermal climate, while the northwest has a humid continental climate (microthermal), with slightly cooler temperatures due to higher elevation. Precipitation falls on an average of 120 days a year, with 25 to 30 thunderstorms, most of which occur during the summer, so we may have a wet race for 2013 in US.
