2012 US Grand Prix Misses Deadline
Organisers of the 2012 United States Grand Prix in Texas have missed a vital deadline to present the design of its circuit to F1’s governing body the FIA.??
Promoter Tavo Hellmund had said that the Austin layout would be presented to the FIA’s Circuits Commission in September but the deadline has been missed.
??The organisers revealed the basic design of the track to the public last month and revealed that it would be based on famous tracks around the world.??
But track designer Hermann Tilke’s German-based company Tilke GmbH did not submit plans during the Circuit Commission meeting on 14th September, the FIA panel’s president Roger Peart confirmed.??
The FIA will not hold a Circuits Commission meeting until 2011 and reports suggest that the Austin track may not be completed in time for its 2012 debut.
