Bobby Epstein, promoter of the United States Grand Prix, aims even higher for the 2023 edition and aims to welcome 500,000 spectators on the COTA course.
He told Autosport that there was a demand to reach 500,000 but he wanted the fan experience on the circuit to be the best it could possibly be.
Many concerts were held when Formula 1 came to COTA, Ed Sheeran was one of the many artists on stage.
If the increase in the number of seats is important, Bobby Epstein wishes above all a good performance of the event.
“I don’t think we need to necessarily hit 500,000, but grow carefully to make sure we can still handle the crowd.” Epstein said. (Auto sport)
Jost Capito’s announcement of Logan Sargeant’s possible entry into Formula 1 in 2023 alongside Alexander Albon would contribute to the development of the event. The arrival of an American driver in Formula 1 next season would be excellent news for the appeal of the discipline on the other side of the Atlantic.
“It is now much more valuable than it used to be. If you asked me even three or four years ago, I would say it would be nice to have it, but now it will be great, great for him ”.he told Autosport.
The next goal is clear, to put an American driver in a top team and to make America win on the biggest circuits in the world.
“The biggest step in launching is getting an American in the front row, because there is little time for people to pay attention to an American with the choices we have. You want to see the winners “.
