We know that Tavo has a clear vision to make Formula 1 a major event, generating opportunities throughout the year. In recent years he has developed a solid commercial basis and has assembled a seasoned team that we are proud to join.

Formula 1 is considered the sporting event the world's most advanced in terms of technology. Her worldwide popularity is enormous with more than 520 million viewers in 187 countries, making it the most watched annual sporting world. This project is going to Austin and the State of Texas on the front of the world. Its economic impact on the community is estimated at about U.S. $ 300 million annually, according to the Office of the Comptroller of Texas.
Austin, Texas is the center of a population of nearly 20 million people and offers within a radius of 180 miles, 130 international flights daily. Austin is easily accessible either from the East Coast or West United States, or from Canada, Europe, Mexico and Central America and South America. The track is located on 900 acres of land southeast of Austin along the corridor 130 near FM 812. The majority of the land concerned by the project was previously known as Wandering Creek property.

Hellmund convinced on Austin
The presentation of the site of the Grand Prix of the United States, and especially the presence of Red McCombs, alongside Tavo Hellmund, have won a few points of trust in Austin.
Hellmund, the sponsor of the Grand Prix to be held in the city of Texas in 2012, has raised some concerns some experts. Zak Brown, head of the company that represents sponsors in F1, LG, Johnnie Walker and Hilton, said the press conference fell on skepticism about the project Austin.
"Many people have wondered how this could be possible," Brown said in USA Today. "I think the timing is the biggest issue, but we know it will happen."
Ron Dennis, McLaren's former manager, agrees: "The race in Austin is a challenge in terms of timing but it will unfold," he said. "We will be in the United States, one way or another."
Red McCombs, former owner of franchises such as the San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Vikings, will be the No. 1 investor. "We must now begin their work very quickly," said Brown.
"Whether they are a year late will not stop the work," exclaimed Dennis.

The organizers of the proposed new Grand Prix United States gave a press conference to give some information on the tour of Austin.
The exact location of the runway will be built in Austin will be near the airport at Wandering Creek.
The men involved in this project are businessman Red McCombs, with his side Hellmund financier, but also one of the legends of the motorcycle, Kevin Schwantz.
"I wanted to be sure we're in the best possible place to Etas United States to organize this race," said Hellmund.
"We looked a good place for a year and a half. "
Formula 1 is not deemed to be particularly appreciated in Formula 1, and the fiasco at Indianapolis in 2005 when the Grand Prix did run with six cars, a record, may have left traces.
But organizers are confident and are not of this opinion: "People say that F1 is not popular in the U.S., but it is completely false. F1 has been a huge success from 1960 to 1980, when she would run on a permanent circuit. From 1980 to 1999, there has always been temporary and Indianapolis circuit, a circuit more geared towards the Indy and NASCAR. "
"Bringing the Formula 1 in the USA represents an opportunity that is only once in his life. The scope of F1 that this event will be comparable to the Super Bowl. This will bring a lot in Austin, San Antonio and across Texas, "says a wealthy businessman McCombs
