Upon completion, Attesa is projected to employ 13,331 full and part-time employees including race track, manufacturing and commercial jobs.

Where did that came from? It is not included in the media kit.

Not sure I understand.

Well 13,000 people arent working at a country club race track, and factories that would employ that many people would be massive, and yet I saw nothing about that in their media kit on that website you linked. Maybe all of the factories that will be closing soon in Mexico are coming to town.;)

They're also building warehouse, retail, housing, etc around it. Granted I'm sure they are inflating the numbers some, but I am no expert in economic impact.
 
And we have COTA as a very recent comparison. How long did that take from first day of ground work to first reveal?
 
Holy crap almost a year later update. Apparently approvals are taking a bit longer than expected, but according to the company in charge the Zoning Commission recommended the project be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors for a final vote. That decision should happen in the next 60 days or so. They expect to break ground sometime this summer.

Here's an updated sketch of the main circuit.

Maybe tangentially related, but I'm serious wondering how global warming is going to affect tracks in problem areas. Specifically Florida, considering I've seen conservative estimates having Miami and most of Florida under water in 15, 20 years time. So with that in mind, there goes Sebring and Daytona, two of the most important tracks in the continental US.

Like wise, I see this track in Arizona, alongside everything else in the region and begin to wonder when water shortages and rising heat temperatures in the Southwest make the entire area uninhabitable.

What possible estimates have you seen to suggest Florida will mostly be under water in 15-20 years? :lol: A quick google and I found this;

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-st...se-is-accelerating-in-florida-scientists-warn

Which says that by 2030 mid range sea level rise estimates are 17 inches and that by 2100 they could rise as much as 10.5ft.

Now if we look at the elevation map below we can see that a rise of 17 inches (1.4ft roughly) would essentially put none of Florida underwater with a few defences. And if we took the 10.5ft which it's implied is the maximum we could see by 2100 and is probably overestimated would, assuming no defenses are put in place at all, put maybe 10% of Florida underwater max. Which obviously would be a big problem but it's a long shot from "most of Florida", and considering most of Florida is over at least 30ft above sea level (so is Sebring btw) I have no idea what sort of sea level rise estimates you've been looking at. Unless you meant population centers which still ins't likely to happen in 15 years but is a bit more sensible, but considering to mentioned Sebring I have to assume you meant land mass.

The layout looks good - I agree with the "linking" of the corners, etc.

Regarding climate change - this track'll be useful for the next 30-40 years easy. Phoenix is already borderline unbearable as it is, so a few extra degrees of heat isn't going to change things. Water and A/C will do its job. The races just shouldn't be in June, during the day.

If anything, it's actually a great place for a track - because even in the coldest months it's still useful as a test track (Nissan's test track is only 30 miles south of there).

VW is also to our north east. The temps down here in the summer tend to be a bit cooler than the Phoenix area as well.

Also, they've definitely made some revisions to the track since I last saw it. If you check out the last photos I posted on the first page of this thread and compare them to the one from two days ago, they're not the same.
