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.
