Sounds very cool. Years ago a few cars did some runs up and down Regent Street in London and the sound was just amazing bouncing off the walls. Would love a London GP.

A F1 race in New York streets? What are the drivers going to do, drive forwards 100 yards then turn left, drive forwards 100 yards then turn right? Sounds pretty boring to me.....

Only one part of it will be on manhattan, the section of road which runs next to the Hudson would make a superb start finish straight and the rest will be in New Jersey which means they might use the Lincoln tunnel (i think) which would be awesome!!!

Just what F1 needs, another crap city layout, lemme guess, straight, left turn, bridge/tunnel, straight, left turn, bridge/tunnel, straight,repeat till bored. Its about time Bernie shuffled off this mortal coil and someone came in and actually got the cars to drive on circuits.

what those circuits that go straght, left turn, staight, right turn, left turn.

what do you want? them doing jumps and flips or something?

a point proved by the other half of the population...

F1 is boooooring, just tuned up (then limited) go-karts

WRC, proper cars, proper tracks!

new york streets are based on a grid pattern so it would be pretty dull in terms of circuit layout. It'd be like racing around milton keynes which is fine in a Saxo VTR but not so much in an F1 car

Would be nice to use tracks that are actually proper tracks.

Just to name a few

San marino
Indianapolis
A1 ring
Magny-Cours

yeah fare enough, purpose built tracks are good, and if they chose one of them ide be perfectly happy with it, but im equally happy with them adding this as a track and think it could have potential. just my opinion though
