N.J. Formula One supporters glad to see racing insider added to committee
Tomás Dinges/The Star-Ledger
updated May 10, 2013 at 8:34 AM

The organization that wants to bring Formula One auto racing to Weehawken in 2014 recently lost two top executives, but yesterday named an industry veteran to its team, officials said.

WEEHAWKEN — The appointment of Christopher R. Pook as a special assistant to the chairman of the Grand Prix of America group drew a vote of confidence from the head of Formula One.

"Chris has a history of great success in Formula One, which I’m confident he’ll bring to the Grand Prix of America race," F1 Chairman Bernie Ecclestone said. "We look forward to working with him to bring F1 racing to New Jersey and New York..."

The head of Grand Prix of America, former YES Network founder, Leo Hindery Jr., said Pook would consult on all aspects of race construction, planning and execution.

Pook founded the first F1 street circuit race in the country, the USA Grand Prix West in 1976, and helped develop six other races around the country over decades in the industry, Hindery said. He is also the former chief executive officer of Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) series...



LOL, F1 in New York! Near "joy-z city", I see. Can't say I'm too enthralled about this one. I wouldn't have rather seen Formula 1 at Sochi. But don't count them out just yet.

F1 and New York are just an odd combination that I'll have to get used to.

Imagine all the complaints about noise and pollution and traffic and whatnot from those residents just east of the track. F1 cars will be practically running through their neighborhood...

Bernie's had this dream of having a GP with the NYC skyline in the background since 1983. It was hoped the race would either be at Meadowlands in NJ or at Mitchel Field, Long Island. As we know it never happened and CART ended up racing at Meadowlands from 1984-91.

Bernie usually gets what he wants.

Looks like would would have been a future grand prix, the Thai GP in Downtown Bangkok, has gone to Formula E. I believe that is case closed for Bangkok - they can hardly run Formula E and Formula 1 on the same weekend and it would be a lot to ask of a city of Bangkok's sheer size to shut down the roads for a race at least twice a year. :/

FE could just be a dry run to see that they're up for it when F1 shows up. They used to have non-championship F1 races, and those were sometimes precursors to a full-blown Grand Prix. Remember the 1979 Gran Premio Dino Ferrari at Imola?

The 24 Hours of México (local race for touring cars) was announced this week for December, but the note there says that it may not take place if by then they have started remodelling the Autódromo Hermanos Rodr?*guez for an F1 comeback.

Wall Street Journal from the Marshals forum: N.J. Formula One Race Is 'Definitely On'

Anyway, the writer doesn't seem to be into motorsport:

Quote:
the London-based racing series

Formula One holds competitions in 19 cities around the globe

200-mph cars
So, Leo Hindery Jr says the race will happen.

Gordon Kirby’s interview with Leo Hindery is available here. A sample quote:
Quote:
"Having raced in Europe, the three tracks I'd compare it to are Le Mans, which has its own elevation change near Indianapolis, and then the Ring and Spa. If you can give the fans the entertainment phenomenon of Hoboken and New Jersey and New York City and couple that with a young driver like Vettel saying it races like Spa and looks like Monaco then I think Bernie and Peter Wahl and I will feel like we've pulled it off.

India and South Korea are in doubt for 2014.

Quote:
German-language reports in Auto Motor und Sport and Speed Week said that India and Korea are the races likely to fall victim.

New Jersey and Austria, along with Russia, are expecting to join the schedule, meaning that the calendar could blow out to 22 races.

Ecclestone, however, has vowed to limit the schedule to 20.

Argentina would replace either Hungary or Bahrain because Bahrain is having political issues and Hungary is the boringest track.

Yes, I would love to see Argentina back again, one race that pops into memory is the 1980 version of this GP.
