Yeehaw - Formula 1 saddles up for Texas 

Where better to host the return to the USA of Formula 1 then Austin, Texas? After all, if a city renowned for it's cowboys can't get hot for some horsepower, then nowhere will...  

Set to be finished next June, Bernie Ecclestone confirmed last month that the purpose-built Circuit of the Americas track will host the first of its ten contracted Grand Prixs on November 12th 2012 in what our friends across the pond are promising will be a spectacular affair.

Having won in Australia in 2003 and reached the final in France in 2007, England have real pedigree when the pressure of tournament rugby gets going. Fingers crossed they can once again do the nation proud.
