From the Grauniad website:

Mario Andretti finds a place to park his F1 American Grand Prix dream

Quote:
 
Andretti will be at the Circuit of the Americas next Sunday to watch the excitedly anticipated race. "When I saw the place in June I had my doubts about this ever going ahead," he tells the Observer. "But I've been amazed at the work that has taken place since. There were big difficulties, because the whole project fell into different hands. But there was a passion and a resolve to perform miracles and make it work.

"And now this can be the fixed home of the US Grand Prix. And I think that fact will see the event not only surviving but thriving in the future. It's a great host city and I think the track, borrowing a bit from Silverstone here, a little of Hockenheim there, will go down great with the drivers."


For us on TPL this represents the culmination of a dream for John Flood. He won't be far from my thoughts while I'm enjoying next weekend.

Before I'd read your last comment PF, I was thinking of John.

He'll have a grandstand view <yes>

Just wish I could read his take on it afterwards...
