Yes, please do!!! most people watch on TV as frankly it's damn expensive to get to a grand prix is person, especially when you factor in travel, camping, hotels and food plus merch! The biggest audience is on TV, and where a good percentage of revenue for FOM comes from, how many broadcasters pay tens of millions each year for the privilege of screening F1! Fine you have the scenery and attractions of NYC, but is that a good compromise with dull racing, cars driving around in procession for 60 laps, choosing location over good racing doesn't see in the spirit of F1!
I'll be going, so I'll be sure to let you guys know how it all turns out.I'd rather have a great track layout than some glitzy location with no substance. We'll see which category this one falls into...
Given the fact that there's a handful of crappy tracks in less than exciting locations with under 50% of attendance by fans, I think most of the American fans mind are in favor of this one. And guess what, it's not costing 200 million dollars to build from scratch. It may yield less than stellar racing, but how is that a loss when compared to Bahrain or Valencia or Hungary. If we're stuck with a pig, at least we're stuck with a glamorous pig.

Plus, how often will we get to see Cuban food served at a GP event?
I just read a article about Atlanta motor park having a f1 capable track, tilke designed.
It was in a street truck magazine not a racing mag

Yeah but we have seen with Korea, Turkey and China for example that a good track does not equate to crowds. Seeing empty seats at tracks is not what you want to see on tv, its not a good image for F1. Plus even if the racing is good the buzz doesn't transcend through on tv. But places like Monaco, well even if the racing is dull its still a buzz to watch. You can feel the atmosphere, and its still enjoyable to watch on TV...this is what we will get with NJ I am sure of it.

Monaco royalty Charlotte Casiraghi present throughout the awards ceremony is the only thing this typically dull race has in it's favour.

You'd just hang around with her and try on some of her shoes.
