Some of you know this already: The first US Formula 1 race (in many years) will be at the new track in Austin, Texas on June 17 of 2012. It's never too early to start planning!
Are any other members interested in going to the race?
I'm not keen/crazy enough to drive. I've been in Texas in June and it's no fun. 6 days driving for a 3-day event is a bit unbalanced. I would be looking at flying. I did a quick check and flights are available in the $600 range (return) with options depending on airline and where you want to change planes.
There are a few outfits that offer tour packages to the races - hotels plus event tickets. I didn't look into those yet.
