Austin promises unique F1 circuit

By Jonathan Noble Thursday, July 15th 2010, 16:14 GMT

USA flagFormula 1 fans and drivers have been promised that the new United States Grand Prix track in Austin will be one of the most challenging and spectacular in the world.

Tavo Hellmund, the promoter of the Austin event that is scheduled to hold its first race in 2012, has revealed that the circuit will be a break from the norm of modern F1 venues and is set to feature a selection of the very best sequences from other tracks around the world.

"I would say that, hopefully, people will view it as a throwback to some of the older, traditional tracks - although obviously with the added safety features and requirements that the FIA has," Hellmund told AUTOSPORT during a visit to the British Grand Prix.

"It will be a track that the drivers will walk through and think: 'Man, I have to be on my best game today!'"

Hellmund said that final details of the location of the track will be released imminently, and that the actual layout should be made public in the next few weeks. He said he was excited by what he had seen from the plans, being put together by F1 circuit designer Hermann Tilke.

"It is going to have a really fast section, which will have some pretty challenging corners," he said. "I am partial to a couple of sections that I've seen at Silverstone, so you could see those turn up too.

"There is also going to be significant elevation – probably more than 100 feet of difference from top to bottom. There will be pretty views, and I think it will be a bit of a departure from the tracks that have been built recently for F1. So, in that regard, I am excited.

"Americans will be proud of it – and it won't be a 'cookie cutter' track. I think people in Texas will be proud of it as well."

Hellmund said one of his priorities was to make sure the drivers liked the venue – because that would help ensure the event became a hit.

"When you really get down to it, the drivers should be your best endorsement," he said. "They are the ones that talk, and everyone wants to hear what they have to say. So I think between access, mobility, location and then obviously the asphalt within both fences, I think we're going to be good."

Hellmund also echoed recent comments from Bernie Ecclestone, who said there were no doubts that the funding for the event was in place.

When asked about the financial situation, Hellmund said: "With all due respect, I think it is interesting – because it is nobody's business what my funding is. I can tell you this – the group we have together is world class.

"Some of them are well known individuals who will probably never appear publicly – which is for a reason because their privacy and anonymity is part of the deal.

"But, I can tell you that Mr. Ecclestone would not have embarked on a deal if he was not pleased with the financial package. And the state of Texas would not have done what they have done without that either.

"And I want to be clear about what Texas have done because there are a lot of misconceptions there. They are not subsidising anything – the state of Texas has basically passed legislation, just like they did for the Superbowl, that allows for the contribution of incremental sales tax revenue that is created by that event. So, some of the liberal media in Texas have been trying to take shots at that, but that [the subsidy claim] is a fabrication.

"We are excited, because it puts Texas on a platform with the great global events – the Olympics, the Superbowl and the World Cup. They would have not been doing it either if they thought it was a bit wishy-washy."

Lo spero.

OT: se hai la possibilità di sentire Dindo, digli che magari fà un salto qui, lo aspettiamo a braccia aperte. Se poi ci racconta qualcosa ancora meglio. Personalmente ho sempre sperato che vincesse lui al posto di Pirro, Christensen e degli altri, senza nulla togliere ai due piloti che stimo.

Austin could host F1 'for 40 years'

By Matt Beer Wednesday, August 11th 2010, 10:45 GMT

Tavo HellmundTavo Hellmund, the man at the head of the new United States Grand Prix programme, believes the Austin venue will be so well-suited to Formula 1 that it could stay on the calendar for '40 years'.

F1 is set to return to America in 2012 - five years after it last raced at Indianapolis - at a new purpose-built facility near the Texas city.

Promoter Hellmund reckons the location has so many advantages, it can end F1's long search for a permanent US home.

"I considered Austin as the ultimate place and I went to Bernie with this idea," he said in an interview with the official F1 website. "Austin has developed immensely over the last 15 years - in every aspect - so for me there was no better place to hold the United States Grand Prix.

"The State of Texas has developed into the 11th biggest global economy and many of the Fortune 500 companies have their headquarters here. And Austin is the capital.

"Think of the ideal location of the city: my fellow countrymen can reach it easily, as well as fans from central and South America. In this respect it's perfectly central.

"My philosophy is that you will succeed if you are at the right place at the right time - and for a grand prix in Austin, Texas, I considered it to be the right time. We have a contract for the next 10 years, but if you ask me we could race here for the next 40 years!"

Amid continual rumours that America could eventually return to having two F1 dates, Ecclestone said he was open to the idea of a second US race - but that Austin was the only one on the horizon for now.

"Let's make one thing clear: Austin will be the US Grand Prix," he said. "But that does not mean that we cannot have another race in the US with another label. I would be insane if there were the option to race in New York and I said 'no thanks'.

"But for now that's nothing more than a pipe dream. The reality is we have a contract with Austin and it is there where the US Grand Prix will be staged."

Both Hellmund and Ecclestone believe F1 could succeed in Austin even without local talent involved. Since Scott Speed's departure from Toro Rosso, there have been no American drivers in F1, and the Charlotte-based US F1 team failed to make the grid this year. Fellow US outfit Cypher Group recently withdrew its bid for a 2011 entry.

"Of course it would be fantastic to have an American driver," said Hellmund. "A team would great, sure, but it's no real necessity."

Ecclestone added: "Regarding an American driver, we have tried that lately but obviously what's missing is the right attitude. You can race successfully in the US without the huge effort you need to succeed in Formula 1. But to have someone like Danica Patrick in F1 would be a perfect advert."

Hellmund believes 'local' interest could instead come from Mexico if GP2 frontrunner Sergio Perez makes it into F1 by 2012.

"There is that young Mexican driver Perez who is doing a great job in GP2 right now," said Hellmund. "For him the 2012 US Grand Prix could be a sort of home race: the distance from Austin to Mexico is a mere 250 kilometres."
