US Grand Prix at Jones Beach - Formula 1 New York
About
If you have never visited Jones Beach, then you cannot imagine how wonderful, vast, and magical a place it is.
Whether on a summer day in July, a winter day in January, or a rainy, misty day in April, Jones Beach, and its extraordinary sense of space, has the ability to transform you. I, like many Long Islanders and New Yorkers, know this to be true.
As a result, this proposal was born out of great love for Jones Beach, immense passion for F1, Scuderia Ferrari, and the belief that Formula 1 Racing belongs in New York.
But also, steeped in the belief that a mutually beneficial agreement between New York State and F1, to achieve F1 New York, is not only possible but long overdue.
Jones Beach represents the ideal location within the New York Tri-State Area, to create a temporary large-scale race venue far from residential homes, which would result in 50 acres of new parkland.
Such a venue would itself justify creating an F1 advertising presence in Manhattan, by the owners, teams, and sponsors of Formula One, capable of promoting all F1 races,
while allowing social media to promote F1 even further.
Achieving what was thought impossible, an F1 race in New York, a sustainable two-race U.S. platform, and the creation of a unified supporting image of F1 to its North American target market.
A dual-position strategy of Formula 1 New York (Jones Beach & Manhattan) would sustainably project F1, locally, nationally, regionally, and globally, year after year.
F1 New York, would result in the logical increase of F1's audience and sponsorship revenue, but equally as important, become the foundation of a sustainable two-race U.S. platform with Austin, Texas, and an expanded and funded Jones Beach, State Park.
Thank you for visiting.
