Which, listening to Circuit of the Americas management, won’t be a problem, since the inaugural F1 race scheduled for Nov. 18 is shaping up to be a blockbuster. Such a blockbuster, in fact, that until June, the track is only selling tickets that are attached to a Personal Seating License, or PSL. This means that you pay for your ticket, which is a “season pass,” getting you the F1 race and, when it is eventually scheduled, the Australian supercars. If Circuit of the Americas cuts deals for other races—and sources say a date for the American Le Mans Series is close to completion—you will pay extra for them. And on-site parking is extra, too, from $150 to $200, according to one Austin source, available only to PSL holders.
To say Circuit of the Americas is ambitious in pricing its tickets and PSLs is an understatement. The most expensive seat at the Monaco Grand Prix (not including the Paddock Club for serious high-rollers) is in the premium “gold” section—and costs $657. The top seat in the only permanent grandstand at Circuit of the Americas, on the front straight, is $1,250, and that does not include the $5,500 PSL or parking. The least expensive seat at Monaco, in the “bronze” section, is $303. At Circuit of the Americas, it’s $375 in the turn 15 grandstand, and that does not include the $1,500 PSL.
The PSL gets you essentially the right of first refusal for that seat for the next 15 years; it does not include a ticket, nor any guarantee that F1 will be there for 15 years. Selling a personal seat license for a spot on an aluminum bench on a temporary grandstand is unprecedented in motorsports, but if it works, the Circuit of the Americas staff will look like a bunch of geniuses.
All tickets for the 2012 FORMULA 1 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX are for three-day entry to the track on November 16-17-18, 2012. No tickets will be sold for individual days. The three-day ticket price also includes complimentary shuttle service between downtown Austin and the track.
Turn 2 Grandstand – $400 to $600
Turns 3, 4, and 5 Grandstands – $200 to $600
Turn 11 Grandstand – $150 to $600
Turn 12 Grandstand – $150 to $600
General Admission – $150 to $600

FUCKING RIGHTS SCHUMI!!!!!!
69th career pole!
shame he gets a 5 spot penalty
It should count as a pole even if he gets a penalty thats retarded (or does it? some say it wouldnt count only if he was penalized in todays qualifying session)
in regards to monaco. Should just have "special" cars for the event. Smaller cars, all the same specs and everything. I think it would make for a much more entertaining race.

Mark Webber sums up my thoughts on the evolution of F1 in the last few years. In my opinion F1 is no where near as exciting due to the 'endurance' nature. I still love and watch F1 every weekend, but I miss watching the best drivers in the world sprint racing.

I agree. I hate the fact that the drivers aren't giving their 100% the whole race. To me it defeats the purpose of F1.
Someone needs to start a new "unlimited" racing league.

I agree as well, if I wanted to watch endurance racing I would watch Petit Leman........I watch F1 to see to watch top engineers and driver pushing 100% for the majority of the race....not the lame shit we see this year. The tires are playing too big of a role in the outcome of the race.......engines don't seem to matter anymore......
