Formula 1 New York U.S. Grand Prix at Jones Beach

Improvements - Re-grading

The realization of a temporary race venue at Jones Beach, with F1 track, and 50 acres of new parkland, amounts to little more than re-grading and re-landscaping the area indicated in yellow.

The area highlighted in yellow represents approximately 100 acres, which is 5+ feet (1.5+ meters) lower than the roadway area highlighted in blue. (Except at the north entrance of parking field 4 (right). Likel

The roadway, in blue, is 5+ feet (1.5+m) higher than the parking fields and unimproved land highlighted in yellow.

Note:

The New York State Revitalization Plan has converted areas of the park and foresees converting acres of land north of Ocean Parkway.....

.....this proposal simply involves converting (improving) a larger amount of parkland, resulting in a park within the park, which can also be used as an F1 track.

Rendering this area dual-use, with the addition of a wide ribbon of asphalt as a functional element of the park, which can also be used to host a global motorsports event.

> The long straight of Ocean Parkway.

The following modification would be required to realize a temporary race venue at Jones Beach. See area bracketed in yellow.

The mostly narrow median along 4,600 feet (1,402 meters) of Ocean Parkway would need to be removed, and re-paved as one continuous surface, to create a 50 foot (15 meters) wide roadway required for a Formula 1 track.

Note: Historic Precedent.

Both Ocean Parkway and the median have undergone many transformations over the past 90 years.

The roadway, bracketed in yellow, can be re-graded and re-paved as one continuous surface forming the long straight of this F1 track.

Subsequently, wide, reinforced, interlocking concrete barriers can be installed on Ocean Parkway to separate the east and westbound traffic.

Improvements - modifications - garage/PIT complex

> Garage/PIT complex

The second proposed modification involves the clearing of approximately 6 acres located to the west of the West Bathhouse.

This area could accommodate a temporary, multi-level structure of

modular / steel frame construction.

Once the area is cleared, all utilities could be brought to the site.

Asphalt and concrete surfaces could be poured, creating the foundation, on which a temporary structure can be erected then dismantled annually.

Temporary Modular Construction

If Formula One has taught us anything over the years, nothing is impossible, as F1 has proven itself as the master of temporary technologies, allowing F1 to move around the globe effortlessly.

A multi-level temporary structure of modular/steel-frame construction could be erected and dismantled annually as done in The Principality of Monaco.

Semi-permanent Modular Construction

It is precisely this type of modular construction, which could very well be the basis for allowing the structure to remain, knowing that, if needed, the entire structure could be dismantled and removed.

A mix of steel-frame and modular construction could be over-engineered for longevity and designed for multi-use.

The garage level could be designed with a higher ceiling allowing it to be used by the Parks Department as an indoor sports complex for the remainder of the year. A visual example > of how a modular multi-use garage/sports complex may appear, with a high ceiling, garage doors, and filled with temporary SPORT COURTS.

Permanent Structure

Within this project's scope, it is conceivable for a conforming, permanent, multi-purpose building to be constructed at this location.

This photo is to demonstrate how the multi-use interior could appear. Of course, the exterior would be conforming to the park's brick art-deco architecture. Or there can be a departure towards modern architecture, which has been successfully applied at historical sites around the world including Paris, Venice, and London.

Whether a semi-permanent-modular or permanent structure, the garage would be multi-use, functioning as the garage during the race and indoor sports complex, public-use space the remainder of the year.

Such a structure would bring life to this area of the park year-round and lead to, for example, the Jones Beach Tennis Club.

Multi-level semi-permanent or permanent structure.

In the scenario of a semi-permanent-modular or permanent multi-level structure, the second and third levels would be a combination of seating, hospitality suites, and offices.

The second-level offices could be utilized by the Parks Department, while select spaces on the ocean side of the structure, which provide beach and ocean views, could be used for public use.

The north side of the proposed structure would face PIT row and the circuit, while the south side would face the F1 paddock and beach. This garage/PIT complex would also have the value-added benefit of panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the warm summer wind.

Hybrid Structure

A semi-permanent-modular or permanent structure could also be hybrid in nature.

Whereby, the permanent multi-use garage level is engineered as a foundation, on top of which, a mix of temporary seating and finished, over-engineered modular sections constituting hospitality suites and offices could be installed forming the second and third levels of the PIT complex, then removed after the race, assuring the structure maintains a low profile.

The many modular sections could be stored in a proposed climate-controlled building (out of sight) at the park's northernmost section or the park's secluded maintenance yard east of Zach's Bay.
