Highly odd marketing video, but rather entertaining all the same. Turn the speakers up.

That looks bumpier than the TT circuit

Do you think they're running intermediates?

Excellent, I wonder how sped up the dirt-track bits were. That quad bike caught up really quickly.

Doesn't count, different kind of bumps. No bridge either.

Probably needs a bit of a re-build after all that dust too.

Bizzare bit of marketing, not quite sure what they are trying to achieve with it, but I like it all the same.

Ha ha,real horsepower? Surely they jest...

Track looks a little odd - it's got left and right turns and it's a bit flat on the corners

Make people aware of the new US GP? I wasn't aware of it until now so it works.

From that perspective perfect - and date times nicely with a birthday and annual vacation time

F1 in Texas Nov 2012 or Nascar in Florida Nov 2012

Easy choice I'll take the left turn, straight, left turn, straight, left turn option every time

Interesting view of the circuit with the elevation changes. Also it seems quite 'dug in' to the terrain in places - will it remain that way with no run off and street style barriers?

I could understand that if Bernie had paid for it, but I'm guessing that advert cost quite a bit of cash, when you think of the huge bills to make TV ads for a much shorter time slot. Seems like a big expense for a team to publicize a new country being added to the F1 calendar.

Maybe awareness in the US market is worth the investment.

I'm not complaining, I enjoyed it.
