Formula 1 in Joisey???

I just went back to watch the taped 125 and Moto2 races tonight on my DVR. I couldnt watch them after Marco's wreck. But when I went to open the Moto2, I got this press conference that announced the Jersey F1 race. I don't know how I missed this, or even if this is a repost...

WEEHAWKEN, N.J. (AP) – New Jersey will host its first-ever Formula One Grand Prix race in 2013 on a course that winds along the Hudson River waterfront and offers striking views of the Manhattan skyline. Steve Matchett, a commentator on Formula One races for the SPEED network, called the course layout and views "absolutely staggering" and compared it to the famed Monte Carlo course for its proximity to water and its steep climb.

I watched a youtube vid of a car driving his car on the route that they will be taking.

I keep thinking that they are going to set the cameras up so that every shot has the NYC skyline in it

I've lived in Weehawken - the view of NYC is pretty cool.
