it be in Texas y'all.

F1 will be there in 2012. V8's are there in 2013.

Don't be thinking the road will be cut into the ground that far though....that's just how much gravel they have to put beneath a race track to keep it from deteriorating quickly. if you put the lateral forces of a race car over a normal road here in oz, it would be cracking/warping/breaking-up after a day.

There will possibly be 2 USA rounds in 2013, new F1 track in New Jersey being proposed atm...

Car looks good on dirt, tho dont know how ready i would be to do donuts in dirt with a million dollar engine and no air filter...
