The factors behind Austin’s F1 US GP spectator numbers dip
According to Bobby Epstein, co-owner and chairman of the Circuit of the Americas, the Austin Grand Prix is in a good position compared to the Miami and Las Vegas races in terms of offering pure racing and affordable tickets. While Miami and Las Vegas focus on VIPs and hospitality features, Circuit of the Americas was designed specifically for F1 with the spectator in mind, offering multiple viewing spots to witness overtaking and on-track action. Epstein believes that the other American races on the F1 calendar highlight the uniqueness of Circuit of the Americas, appealing to racing purists, casual racing fans, and those seeking a great experience. He strives to keep ticket prices on the lower side while providing a quality timetable and 35 hours of programming, including concerts. The advantage of the Circuit of the Americas is that it can fit more people in the grandstands, allowing for lower ticket costs compared to the other races.
