"The circuit is unlike any other street race we've seen. Racing through the heart of American history, with those amazing landmarks lining the course, is going to be incredibly powerful."
"The 1.7-mile circuit opens with a front stretch along Pennsylvania Avenue by the U.S. Capitol and heads northwest past the National Gallery of Art and Canada's U.S. Embassy where cars can get the most speed. The circuit then takes a sharp left turn after the National Archives and cuts south through the National Mall at 7th Street."
