The Grand Prix of America is Back On

Leo Hindery, the former YES Network executive and retired racer who first announced the race in October 2011, told The Star-Ledger that he has signed a new contract with F1 chief Bernie Ecclestone, who had dissolved their original agreement last fall after Hindery’s group could not meet its obligations under the prior deal.

In addition to having a new contract, Hindery said this week that his race has all the necessary local permits, and has 31 contractors at work on the course and other race preparations.

Austin's is $592, at least that's what I gathered from the comments. It's also supposedly for a three-day pass, so that makes a little more sense.

Also, the most expensive ticket is $4,200, so that will skew the average a tad.

When you consider I had to pay $5,250 for a paddock pass to Monza, and that the average ticket pricing at Monza is $700, then the price in New Jersey really isn't a great deal of money.

No matter how you look at it, that's an insane amount to pay for a ticket to any single event, at least to me.
