Alejandro Soberon, the promoter of the Mexican Grand Prix, is not worried that there are three races in the United States. According to him, this is a strong sign of F1 success, but also a potential to develop the discipline on the American continent.
“I’m not sure about Central America, but three races in the United States have been a challenge in the past. Now it seems reasonable to me.” Soberon said. “I think Miami is going to be a big hit. The crowd in Austin was even bigger than in previous years and all the presales in Las Vegas are going through the roof.”
“So I think it’s good for the region, for the time zone, it’s very good. Canada, three races in the US, Mexico and Brazil. The question is whether there is room for another race. I think there is space for another one, but it doesn’t have to be with a race in the same time zone. “
Soberon does not believe that the acceleration in the number of races in the United States is a reason for reducing reservations for Mexico. In addition, he finds the positioning of his race more interesting.
“On the contrary, because when you compare the price and the package to come here, we are very competitive. And everyone knows it’s a good race, it’s a good experience. Mexico City is a very interesting city to come and do other things besides. to racing. “
“Instead of taking three days, you can take a week and come and see the restaurants, the culture of the city and the interesting places. So it goes beyond the race, it is deeper.”
