The site is just off the San Diego (405) Freeway near the Main Street exit, where the Dominguez Hills Golf Course is currently located. The 18-hole, 3-par golf course - which has a popular two-deck driving range and and a landmark statue of a huge golfer, would be shut down.

Nearby, the Don Dominguez apartments, a 64-unit complex at 19702-19822 S. Main St., has recently been vacated and will be demolished in the next few weeks to make way for the Porsche facility, Hoyos said.

SevenSisters has a spectacular aura about

Interesting that the track is being designed by Herman Tilke's firm, which has designed all of the new F1 tracks introduced over the last decade. I wonder what American shape will be used as the inspiration for the layout. A hamburger? A pistol?
