Construction on Formula 1 race track to start in December
Construction on a
Formula 1 race track in Austin will begin in December.
State Comptroller Susan Combs said promoters will start rolling out the details next week.
The city has reached an agreement with F1 racing to host the United States Grand Prix from 2012 through 2021.
It's still not clear where exactly the track will be built, but there has been talk about a location near the airport.
This is the first time a racing facility will be constructed from the ground up specifically for Formula 1 racing.
