Formula 1 will be heading to New Jersey in 2013, according to the Wall Street Journal, which expects an announcement to be made next week.
Rumours surfaced back in August that a race could take place in New Jersey, with the Manhattan skyline as a backdrop to the race, a scenario Bernie Ecclestone is very keen on.
A press conference has been scheduled at the Port Imperial in Weehawken on Tuesday, where an announcement is expetced to be made to confirm that F1 will race on a street circuit along the Hudson River, through West New York and Weehawken.
New Jersey governor Chris Christie and other local politicians will attend the meeting.
F1 will return to America in 2012 at a purpose built facility in Austin, Texas. It is believed that the second US race in New Jersey will be a back-to-back event with Canada in June, whilst Austin will tie-up with the Brazilian GP, as has been scheduled next year.
