We were expecting this to come out soon and are glad to announce that Tavo Hellmund and Susan Combs, the Texas State Comptroller, met with Bernie Ecclestone at the British Grand Prix this past weekend.
Autoweek released an article about the meeting and Susan's first Grand Prix experience. We really enjoyed this comment by Combs:
"It's very, very exciting...It has lots of technology, which I found particularly interesting, and it's a real crowd-pleaser, a real show. We're now more excited. With the incredible impact that this has on England, we hope to have a similar impact on the United States.”
Susan seems to be quite enthusiastic about the race and said the support from Texas Special Events Fund is a "done deal." Read more at Autoweek in Austin Formula One Race A Done Deal.
