Nope. Wasn't there a few races between Indy and Laguna a few years ago? Isn't that exactly the reason they switched it to having the break?

Does it make economic and logistical sense to come here twice?

agreed, though i think you could probably justify it the further apart the races are.
furthermore, i'd argue that having the races closer together (laguna / indy) cannibalizes the audience ("why fly cross country to laguna this weekend if i can drive to indy two weeks from now?").
fwiw, i'd find it harder to justify three united states rounds.
austin may/may not happen for 2013, but with laguna losing motogp for worldsbk (i'm actually kinda happy about this), i expect 2014 to fall into place.

you do realize that nobody has raced there yet, right?
all i can say is that i've toured the track twice and put my money in the turn 15 grandstands for the f1 race.

Of course, I should have asked for opinions, instead of recommendations.
Based on all the chatter here, I just knew that at least one of "us" would be familiar enuf with the place to make an educated guess. Thank you!

My son and I went out to the track yesterday. Looks like it will be done but its not going to be pretty. Give the area a few years though and it be a lot better. Right now, it's in the not-so-nice area of Austin.
I bought a pass for parking lot Q. Supposedly a 10-15 min ride to COTA. I'm sure it'll turn out to be a few min longer. I wonder how long it will take to get there from my place (approx 20 miles away)?
Turn one (general admission) looks like it might be a good place to hang out since its at the top of the hill. Only a few more weeks!!
Btw..a red Monster was out there yesterday and rode right past me. Anyone on here? S2R/S4R I believe.
