The FIA have visited the circuit which will host this years US GP.
The circuit in Austin, Texas, is set to be completed well on time for its November 18th Grand Prix date. The 3.4mile circuit will be officially known as "Circuit of the America's" and was visited by Formula 1 race director Charlie Whiting, who was pleased with its progress. Whiting's last visit to the circuit before the race will be on the 25th September.
He said "It is clear that the significant resources Circuit of The Americas has committed to completing this facility on time and to FIA specifications is making a difference...
"The more than 500 construction workers on site daily are making great progress, and I plan to return to Austin at the end of August for an update. My formal pre-race inspection is set for Sept. 25, which is 60 days before the scheduled start of the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix. From the world-class motorsports facilities and fan areas to the racecourse itself, which promises to be one of the most challenging new additions to our season, I believe Circuit of The Americas has the ability to put on a great show and spectacular Grand Prix in its inaugural year. I look forward to my next visit in August."
You can see one of the first virtual looks of the circuit on the new F1 2012 game video which was released as a teaser for the games release.
