Proposed Circuits
Two new circuits are proposed to be used in Formula One in the near future. The Port Imperial Street Circuit is scheduled to hold the Grand Prix of America in 2013, in streets around Hudson County, New Jersey. Formula One is scheduled to host a Grand Prix at the Sochi Olympic Park Circuit, in Sochi, Russia. The circuit will host the Russian Grand Prix in 2014, although this could be pushed back a year if the International Olympic Committee believes preparations for the race will affect those for the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Famous quotes containing the words proposed and/or circuits:
“The structure was designed by an old sea captain who believed that the world would end in a flood. He built a home in the traditional shape of the Ark, inverted, with the roof forming the hull of the proposed vessel. The builder expected that the deluge would cause the house to topple and then reverse itself, floating away on its roof until it should land on some new Ararat.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower.”
—Robert M. Pirsig (b. 1928)
