New Jersey, on the F1 calendar, should have a permanent spot and in brackets state (maybe, we don’t know, definitely, cancelled, no chance,
confirmed, moved to next year, fingers crossed). This way, all possible outcomes are covered and the F1 website manager would have a much easier job updating the list.
Bernie Ecclestone announced earlier today that he has "no doubt" the Grand Prix of America at New Jersey will finally join the Formula One calendar in 2015.

Bernie Ecclestone announced earlier today that he has "no doubt" the Grand Prix of America at New Jersey will finally join the Formula One calendar in 2015.
When a provisional 22-race calendar was leaked in September 2013, New Jersey was present as part of a triple-header between the Monaco and Canadian GP’s. Of course, in brackets, it stated "subject to circuit approval" and was missing from the final 2014 calendar announced after the World Motor Sport Council meeting in Paris. Bernie said "There is great demand for a race in New Jersey and I have no doubt we'll be racing at Port Imperial in 2015. New races can take many years to get started, but there is significant
momentum and we are close to realising a New York City F1 race." As much as we would love a race in North New Jersey and West New York with a stunning Manhattan back drop, it is difficult to anticipate whether or not the race will actually go ahead. Bearing in mind that the management has changed twice since the idea was put forward. Race promoter Leo Hindery Jr says he still has the full backing of the relevant parties to ensure the project goes ahead.

"Our entire management team and our supporters in New Jersey, New York and throughout the Formula One community obviously want to see the inaugural Grand Prix of America at Port Imperial take place as soon as possible," Hindery said. "Bringing a world-class race to the world's largest media market is a huge undertaking that has required balancing construction of our road course, without tapping any public money, with the Sport's own timing demands.
All we can say is, fingers crossed!
