It's pretty serious. Full story here. Courtesy Joe Saward, as usual

OK not strictly New York but just across the water and the Manhattan skyline will be the backdrop. Coo-al. I might try to go this. SE Stateside Campaganza anyone?!

Ohhh..bummer. Looks like I could just miss this. We are looking at going on the launch trip of the new NCL ship from Southampton to New York in April 2013... Hope the build is delayed

Wonder what classic European GP will be dropped to replace it with another yawntastic street race procession as Bernie chases cash in lieu of entertainment?

I am guessing Spa.

If you look at the circuit plan, it doesn't have to be yawntastic. Several major braking zones and perhaps a couple of tricky combos to catch people out, so could be better than Valencia (which I agree is pointless).

Unfortunately Tilke's name is on the image file

I did look at the circuit plan and agree it actually looks pretty good. Cant help thinking that the lovely fast looking sweeping curves will be throttled by Mr Elf N'safety when they get there and realise 180mph bends between armco barriers isn't going to work.

/pessimism faction.

maybe the timing of the launch right now isn’t great due to the resent fatalities in the motorsport world

....none the less i thought that the Texans have just spent a fortune to host the American GP

...so does that mean two races in the US

....also,Bernie will go with anything that makes business sense

, if you know what i mean ......

The Texans are certainly doing something but there have been remarks about whether they will actually be ready. Who knows.

I can see a NYGP being far better supported from international fan base perspective but I no longer trust anything Bernie gets up to so won't actually believe it until tickets are on sale

Will watch with interest.
Hoping to go to an F1 race in 2014 to tie in with my 40th, and New York would mean the wife could do the shopping stuff afterwards.

I think that was figuring in my subconscious too!

Lisa will have a special birthday coming up around that time actually...

I think Austin have a 10 year contract starting next year?
