Formula 1 race director and FIA safety delegate Charlie Whiting inspected the new 5.47-km (3.4-mile) Cicuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas on Tuesday.
Whiting gave the new road course the green light to host its inaugural U.S. Grand Prix on November 18.
The Briton also told the medias that the circuit would have just one Drag Reduction Zone during the Grand Prix.
Although he did not mention it, the DRS zone should logically be located on the back straightway of the circuit, which is 1200m long (three quarters of a mile).
