Formula 1 Racetrack Is Coming To Atlantic City
Hey Rat Rocker race fans we are getting something pretty cool coming our way. Check it out at the old airport at Bader Park, will be transformed into a $2.7 billion Formula 1 racetrack. It will also include condominiums and retail stores.
This brand new track will have a lot of things to be focused on, cause when these F-1 racecars coming whipping around with the excitement, the drivers will have to look forward to a 2.44 mile motor course. It turns out the Army Corps of Engineers will dredge the back end bays that surround the field to make this racetrack happen.

To get the power going over there for this new F-1 track they are going solar. The green lights will get going with 10.8 mega watts of solar panels will be on the roof of the brand new condos that are being constructed along with the other retail stores throughout this design.

This new construction will take some time, but it will be expected to bring a bunch of new jobs along with it, 1200 to 1500 people will be having steady work. So coming up in the near future as we take time to get to Atlantic City, we just don’t have to look at the bright lights and all the gambling that is going on which is always a lot of fun, but now it looks like we can enjoy something that Iv never seen with these racecars really doing there thing.
