FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 15, 2011

Circuit of The Americas™ Suspends Construction
Pending Race Contract Delivery
Readiness for Formula 1™ United States Grand Prix™ Not Yet Affected

AUSTIN, Texas – November 15, 2011 – Organizers of Circuit of The Americas, a premier motor
sports racing and entertainment venue being developed in Austin, Texas, are suspending further
construction of the project until a contract assuring the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix will be
held at Circuit of The Americas in 2012 is complete. The race contract between Formula One and
Circuit of The Americas has not been conveyed to Circuit of The Americas per a previously agreed
upon timetable.

While construction at Circuit of The Americas has progressed as scheduled with over 300 workers
at the construction site daily, all work will suspend immediately. The delivery of the Formula One
Grand Prix race contract will allow construction operations to resume.

"We have spent tremendous resources preparing for the Formula One and MotoGP™
Championship races, but the failure to deliver race contracts gives us great concern," said Bobby
Epstein, founding partner of Circuit of The Americas. "We believe the United States is vital for the
future of Formula One and its teams and sponsors. Given the purpose-built Tilke design, creating a
unique fan experience and iconic challenge for drivers, we hope that Texas will not be left behind.
Over 100,000 fans have expressed an interest in purchasing tickets for Formula One alone."

"It is in the best interest of all parties to reach a timely resolution," said Red McCombs, chairman of
McCombs Enterprises and founding partner of Circuit of The Americas. "Local businesses, fans
and the State of Texas are counting on us."
