Also factor in possibility that TX knows it can't come up with the $250-$500 MM it promised over ten years, for $ and political reasons, so why even bother to fund the first year?

Lots more $ and nightlife in NYC area...and they claim no taxpayer money will be spent.

" . . . and they claim no taxpayer money will be spent."    laughingdp  In the initial press release the two politicians were already talking about redistribution of wealth about two paragraphs into text. Race drivers and team owners would rather run on purpose built tracks than crappy surface-oh shit there's a wall street courses.  Normally there is only one line on street courses, so the racing will suck and consequently attendence will suffer.  That venue is already doomed to fail.


COTA is purpose built to the full modern FIA spec, so every race series under the sun has the possibility to run there. ALMS, GrandAm, IndyCar, WSBK, AMA, MotoGP, DTM, V8 Supercar, . . . . .   The scope is larger than F1 and I'm sure the stakeholders realize that.

Sooner or later the track will get finished and races will be run. Just hope all my Austin friends will still be living there when that happens. Nothing like a free place to stay. I'll gladly buy them dinner/drinks for a nice guest bedroom. waytogo

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

This is how you get shit done.

Find yourself a very rich man with a wife who's into racing. The rest just works itself out, apparently.

i.e. you're better off dealing with a single party interest instead of a group of business "partners."

you're better off being able to finance the deal yourself. if you're depending on somebody else to bring the money, you've got "partners".
