The race track, measuring 2.67 miles, recently underwent a $50m reconstruction. Mexican Formula One racer Sergio Pérez joined Mexico City mayor Miguel Mancera who led the ribbon cutting ceremony.
...The track was completely rebuilt for the F1 race scheduled for 1 November. In addition to the track, a hospital and new stadium stands were built for the thousands of fans expected to attend the three-day event. Retired Brazilian Formula One racer Emerson Fittipaldi was also present for the inaugural celebration.
