The Circuit of the Americas track in Austin, Texas will host the 2012 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix on November 16-18, coinciding with the San Antonio Auto Show. Formula One races are ranked the highest class of single-seater auto racing by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and include some of the worlds fastest circuit-racing cars.
