According to two people familiar with the matter, the London-based racing circuit will announce next week that the Formula One Grand Prix of America will take place in June 2013 on a road course mapped out in Weehawken and West New York along the Hudson River—against the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline.

Those townhouses are right after the hairpin along the straight. And they aren’t cheap. hahaha. That being said, the new paddock structure should be pretty cool, that lot has been empty for awhile.
