MotoGP to Texas? Presser on 4/12!

[JustSomeDude]

Still in the rumor mill, but we should have some facts come Tuesday!

Formula One United States and Full Throttle Productions, which are building the Texas track, have scheduled a press conference for April 12, and it is possible they will announce the MotoGP deal then, likely along with a name for the new track. Tavo Hellmund, chairman of F1US and managing partner of Full Throttle, declined to comment when reached by AutoWeek on Wednesday night.

I wonder if they'll cut out one of the other US races? Maybe Indy?

[salsashark]

All signs have pointed to Indy getting the ax for quite some time.

Texas is a tad closer than California....

Austin is the Boulder of Texas with a good dose of Nashville and Hollywood(the music side) thrown in. Good times!

Texas is a tad closer than California....

I think Laguna Seca is safe. The article mentioned moving Indy...

I know, I was more referencing that when Indy goes, it'll be closer to go to Texas to see motogp than having to drive to California.

Finally, a reason to go to Austin. Though I'd still go to Laguna

Austin kicks ass! To bad it's surrounded by Texas...

Home of Colin Edwards, MotoGP champ 2011-2026!!!!!!!

Dennis Noyes thinks that this is a go for MotoGP. Hopefully they finish the track in time. And they don't do the race in July or August.

I lived in Texas for four years. Austin is a blast! The rest of Texas? Not so much.

[ChrisCBX]

I've been all over Texas except for Austin. Lived there for a couple of years. I haven't really had the urge to go back but I'll be planning a riding road trip to Austin as soon as the Moto race is finalized.
