The scene of America’s return to the formula one calendar this year is starting to take shape.<\/p>\n
The local Austin American Statesman reports that construction of the Circuit of the Americas is “moving along quickly” following the recent uncertainty over the 2012 US grand prix contract.<\/p>\n
“Buildings are starting to take shape,” wrote Dave Doolittle after a tour of the Texas site.<\/p>\n
He said there are more than 360 workers at the site, including those working on the three-story main pit and paddock building where the outline of the podium “is already visible”.<\/p>\n
Work on the media building and main grandstand has also begun, added the journalist.<\/p>\n
“Officials said they expect to be finished on time for the inaugural race,” said Doolittle, referring to the provisional mid November calendar date.<\/p>\n
“They’ve got a lot of work to do, but all of the activity shows that they’re working to meet that goal.”<\/p>\n
