There's supposed to be some big announcement from Austin this evening.
Is that it?

Good name. Connects it, in spirit, with Latin America. And of course Texas is the home of America's Team (Cowboys -- boooo).

Not to be confused with Road Americas.

If MotoGP is coming I guess we know what that means for the rumple strips !

Half of Latin America will be at the F1 race, should be quite a show.

I cant wait for the first NASA race at the track. Hell NASA Nationals in Texas would be awesome!

Monterrey Mexico had the Champ Cars & A1 GP for a few years so i am sure there will be tour buses from Mexico headed to Austin especially since Sergio Perez is doing well in his first races with Sauber.

I'll go, but I honestly watching F1 parade laps isn't that big for me. I'd be just has happy seeing IndyCar, ALMS, or NASCAR at the track. But mostly, I want to drive on it.

How ridiculous! Circuit of the Americas? Give me a break. It angers me when some arrogant fool does something so devoid of intellect.

Canada is in America and they have a long running F1 Circuit.

Brazil is in America and they have an F1 Circuit.

I initially thought so as well but after listening to one of the developers taliing about wanting to be as inclusive as possible I think it's a pretty good name and like what has already been said it is sure to bring alot of latin american people...Should be alot of interesting grid girls there

Wow. Nice off-base rant.
