Default F1 coming to Austin TX

Austin, Texas will be the site of the 2012 U.S. Formula One Grand Prix, according to the website of F1 boss, Bernie Ecclestone.

Speed.com reports that the prestigious event will take place at a purpose-built facility, and promoted locally by Full Throttle Productions, a company with ties to the popular NASCAR racing series.

In a statement, the company’s managing partner, Tavo Hellmund, wrote that “few cities if any on America could rival the connectivity of all the key elements needed for hosting an F1 event as well as Austin. Now, many people around the world will have the opportunity to experience a world-class event, facility and city.”

The agreement calls for the race to take place in Austin each year through 2021.

What an odd choice. I'd put it in the "I'll believe it when I see it" file, but it looks legit, straight from Bernie's mouth. Oh, wait a sec . . .
