Starting the thread to see who is interested in getting together in Austin in November 2012 for the US Grand Prix Formula One race/Head-Case brouhaha. Race interest or enthusiasm is not required, as a Head-Case family get together is an event unto itself. luvdunhill has mentioned he has room for some people to crash at his house. I'll let him chime in with the details. I'm calling dibs on two spots there for Debbie and I. In trade, if he is interested I will buy his race ticket. And if not I'll compensate some other way.
So, who's interested?

Button's been proving himself to be quite OK this year. And that comes from a die hard Ferrari fan.
Cheers Matt.

Always liked Jensen. I just wonder if he's too nice a guy sometimes!
I think this years rookies could be the big story of the season. I don't know what they're feeding those guys, but if it does represent an improvement in the training that they've gotten on their way up, it may be that we won't see veterans like Rubins (without a championship) still getting a ride year after year.
Anyway, I'll have to see how my finances are after the beginning of the year before I can commit but I'd certainly love to be in Austin in 2012!

Is F1 going next year to Austin and not to Indianapolis? In what fucking cave do I live?

It was until 2008, in 2007 they raced there IIRC. That interests me, they had there the MotoGP races last week. How is Austin circuit?

Correct. Bernie wanted too much money up front so Indy lost its F1 slot.
Right now, the Austin circuit is pretty much graded dirt. It's another Hermann Tilke design, so it has the potential to be crap, but we'll hope for the best. I think the move to November was an effort to avoid the June heat in Texas as well as giving the circuit plenty of time to get finished.
With all that said, it is an F1 race in the US, so it will be an awesome thing.
Cheers Matt.
