I've got some stories written about the subject on my blog. There will be more to come as I work my sources.
Rumor has it the funding will be private, which leads me to believe Texas oil money will be involved. The U.S. promoter and Bernie Eccelstone have expressed their confidence in each other and the project. For more click the link below.

hopefully its closer to tollroad 130 that would be super easy access. and if your in the market for a house that area would be a great place to look. The neighborhoods in dallas close to Texas Motor Speedway pay alot less in taxes because the track makes so much $$$$.

Tilke To Design New Austin Circuit
By Jonathan Noble
Thursday, May 27th 2010, 07:55 GMT
The new Austin Formula 1 track, which will host the American Grand Prix from 2012, is to be designed by Hermann Tilke, race organisers have announced.
Shortly after revealing its 10-year deal to hold the US event, Austin race promoters Full Throttle Productions have now earmarked a site for the circuit and confirmed that Tilke will be involved.
The exact location of the venue has not been disclosed, but Tavo Hellmund, managing partner of Full Throttle Productions, was quoted as saying by the Associated Press that its was 'more than 700 acres.'
Hellmund also ended speculation about who would design the track by confirming that F1 regular Tilke, the man behind track designs at Istanbul, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Shanghai, and Sepang, will be involved.
Race promoters said the track would be "one of the finest permanent road course facilities in the world. Fans should expect the craftsmanship Tilke is famous for, with a priority placed on green building and a track similar to the great grand prix tracks of previous generations."
