"Waaah! We don't want your technology killing our beauiful planet! Waaaah!"

Any time progress is made, people will complain.

Edit: Does anyone know when they're going to start selling tickets?

I read gud. "Facility" doesn't necessarily mean a full road course that would cost hundreds of millions to build and design, it could just be a main center with grandstands strategically located for a street course. I would love to see a full road course but won't hold my breath.

edit: if that map is of the actual location it may seem we'll get our wish
