Officials from Jersey City have confirmed that they have held preliminary talks with Formula 1 over the possibility of staging a grand prix, after plans for a race in Liberty State Park from 2012 emerged.
Bernie Ecclestone has a long-held ambition to take the sport to New York, with the F1 supremo keen for its next venture into the US market to be more high-profile than its last stint at Indianapolis in 2000-2007.
