    New Texas circuit

    Set to join the MotoGP calendar in 2013. Looks like it would be a fantastic track to ride!

    133 foot of elevation change! Sure looks like an interesting track. The 3D model really gives you a good insight as to what is going on. Nice one

    It looks more like a Red bull air race course than a motorcycle/racing car curcuit.

    about time we got a bit of elevation, all the modern circuits are dull and flat (sepang, singpapore, korea, barcelona, bahrain, yas marina etc etc).
    In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

    Heading into turn 1 would be an interesting experience, especially as the track drops away on the exit.
    A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.

    Dear god, it's some weird bastardized three wheeled two person go-kart.

    You would think it would be like Southern Loop at Phillip Is, just tighter.
