The layout doesn't look any worse than all the street circuits Indycars race on. I sense some sour grapes from a couple of American posters (where on earth is the money coming from, etc.) New York is a logical choice for an F1 race since the place is most like Europe in the US and a lot of the people living there are immigrants from countries where F1 is known.

New York may be a "logical" choice, but that location??? How about starting with holding it.... In NEW YORK! worse than Indycar curcuits? No, but that's where Im sceptical.. F1 doesn't accept races (other than Monaco) on anything even remotely like an Indycar circuit. Where are they building the mandatory permanent pit facility F1 requires?

Comparisons to Spa?... Uh, it's got hills... Monaco?.... Well, there's water.. Almost the entire course appears to be through residential streets or past High dollar condos. How's That going to go over when officially announced.

From the picutrres AR1 posted, It's going to run along the top of hte cliffs along JFK, then down to delfino, down the hill and then onto Port Imperial BLVD. I don't see where else it could run staying down on the river banks and have a complete circuit. Where's my popcorn waiting for this one to develop.....
