The FIA’s Charlie Whiting has declared himself happy with the work being done in Austin for the inaugural United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas.
Following the Canadian GP, Whiting visited the under construction facility which is set to hold its first Formula 1 race in November this year.
“It is clear that the significant resources Circuit of the Americas has committed to completing this facility on time and to FIA specifications is making a difference,” he said on Tuesday.
“The more than 500 construction workers on site daily are making great progress, and I plan to return to Austin at the end of August for an update.
“My formal pre-race inspection is set for September 25, which is 60 days before the scheduled start of the United States Grand Prix.”
The circuit must be complete in late-September if it’s to earn a grade one rating, which allows F1 to compete on the track.
