Sorry I wasn't referring to the elevation changes. What I meant was that the rest of the facility wasn't all that exiting to look at. For example the tower. I like the idea of the tower but it doesn't look all that great and it's one of the better features.
They just raced at Yas Marina and that place looks terrific. That being said, I do think the track at Austin is one of, if not
the
best track on the F1 circuit.

well..while it may be a great venue for F1, this may not be a great venue for GP...but it will be interesting to see to say the least...I am just not enamoured with the long straight for bikes...but I guess we have run into this with other F1 tracks that bikes run at in the past...

There's an easy answer for that...just give Johnny Rock Page a one-off ride on a CRT bike

Just wait..I don't believe all the features o the track have been completed yet. It's out in the middle of nowhere right now but that will change too. I didn't go up into the tower but the glass bottom is a cool feature.
In regards to the GP..this track will way better than that sh*t track in Indy!!

The dirt track my kids made for their bicycles in my backyard is better than the Indy infield track.

Parking lots, permanent stands, permanent vendor stands, toilets, carting track, general landscaping, . . . .
It'll probably take about two more years before the track is "completed" as intended.

I thought the new F1 track was awesome, and what they accomplished in such a short time was amazing. Looking forward to the Moto GP race next year

Maybe. It is still a lot of work to be done in effectively 7 months time due to the four races scheduled before then and not accounting for weather delays.

i figure if they've built ~90% of the track and facilities in 1.5 years, they shouldn't have a problem polishing it up in half that.
the amphitheater is supposed to be done prior to the spring festival/concert season, and i'm assuming they'd aim to have it completed before their next "big event" (motogp in april).
