Jones Beach

Jones Beach is the potential space...

...within New York Metropolitan Area where Formula One Racing can host the U.S. Grand Prix, and with a credible Formula One Brand presence in Manhattan create the following geographic sub-brands:


  • F1 Jones Beach
  • F1 Nassau County
  • F1 The Hamptons
  • F1 Long Island
  • F1 Garden City
  • F1 Manhattan
  • F1 New York
  • F1 NY


The sum of its parts providing a balanced, sustainable solution for the park, the state of New York, the sport, and its prestigious sponsors.   F1 NY

      Jones Beach - Function follows form

      Jones Beach an American-centric F1 circuit.

      The above demonstrates that both dual-use circuit and a circuit surrounded by elevated grandstands are possible within this defined space between Ocean Parkway and Bay Parkway.


      Certainly a compact fit; this venue is for the fans. Then, it will be the expertise of Herr Hermann Tilke to embellish further this vast oceanfront canvas.


      Of course, the venue can be expanded further west, beyond the venue perimeter (footprint) indicated above, logically creating both a larger venue and more parkland.    > Function follows form.

      A more traditional circuit can be realized here at Jones Beach by simply incorporating approximately 2,200 feet of the south roadway of Bay Parkway >, widening it, then re-grading with asphalt.

      Jones Beach - Overtaking (passing)

      F1 N.Y. putting the race back into the race.

      Overtaking (passing) when it happens typically happens on either the long straights or at turns. When overtaking does happen, it electrifies anyone who is watching.


      You see, it does not matter which team or driver is in the lead; if the leader of the race is 20-30 seconds ahead of the next race car, well, it may be fun to watch, but there isn't much of a race.


      Besides, an enormous amount of excitement potential, which would otherwise contribute to a globally memorable race, is lost. 


      Formula One Racing can implement a more level playing field, which would logically promote greater overtaking. However, it is precisely within such a circuit where a high frequency of overtaking is possible but more visible to the majority of spectators, which means F1 can put the race back into the race and keep spectators and global television audiences at the edge of their seat.


      The benefits of this vast oceanfront park to the owners, teams, sponsors, and fans of F1, due to its location, size, functionality, historical precedents, and beauty, outweigh negative aspects that may exist within this proposed venue since options for a stable or sustainable F1 race within the New York Metropolitan area, never mind Manhattan, are few.


      Within this beautiful oceanfront park, an American-centric circuit, compact and surrounded by elevated grandstands, would allow considerable race visibility to the majority of spectators. In all cases, a dynamic F1 circuit here at Jones Beach, which promotes overtaking (passing), is possible.

      Jones Beach - Perspective

      Formula 1 New York

      Perspective, past and present.

      There is no comparison between the proposed venue at Jones Beach and the Las Vegas races from 1981 to 1984.  The former is a beautiful oceanfront venue, dotted with Art-Deco buildings and a monument. The latter, a casino parking lot in the middle of the desert.

      Formula 1 New York

      Jones Beach Venue

      Yes, there are parking fields here at Jones Beach (not lots) comprised of only the western half of field 4, and field 3 west, which spans the venue's height.


      However, only a relatively small amount of the circuit runs through the parking fields, as most of the circuit is clearly on parkland or existing roadways. 

      Asphalt Fields

      With all the parking lines removed, the uniformly asphalt-covered fields within the immediate circuit perimeter would be separated by acres of grass-covered parkland; therefore, they will not look like parking lots.  

      From either the ground or the air, this venue's overall appearance and perspective will be one of an extraordinary, oceanfront F1 venue immersed in nature.

      Jones Beach - Alternate To The Skyscraper Solution

      Over the past 40 years, other solutions to bring F1 to New York or the New York Metropolitan Area have been suggested, such as a street race in Manhattan (multiple locations), Governors Island, Brooklyn, Liberty State Park New Jersey, or permanent venues like Watkins Glen and Monticello Motor Club.

      The opposite holds true for Formula One Racing in America, as F1 has nothing but time, yet lacks the space (venue) to race within the New York metropolitan area, thus reaching its full potential in America, by launching a new era, F1 NY.

      We would all like to see an F1 race on Manhattan's streets; it is the most desirable solution.


      However, installing miles of barriers & catch-fence,

      gathering 100,000+ people while simultaneously racing 20 F1 cars close to residential buildings or homes, within or close to Manhattan, while certainly feasible, has proven difficult to achieve.


      If an agreement with New York City can be reached and all the challenges overcome, then in time, the Manhattan street race should be established.


      A second permanent facility akin to the Circuit of the Americas is also a possibility, but not likely, within the New York Metropolitan Area, since 1000+ acres of either undeveloped land, or land slated for redevelopment, would be improved for commercial or residential use, with proximity to residential posing a problem, yet again.

      Proximity to Residential from Jones Beach

      Formula 1 New York, F1 New York, F1 NY F1 Long Island, US Grand Prix New York, new york grand prix

      An F1 race in America proximate to residential homes and buildings is certainly feasible but challenging.


      Conversely, the closest house to the

      proposed circuit at Jones Beach is:


      • 2.6 miles (4.2 km) west
      • 2.9 miles (4.7) km north
      • 5.0 miles (8.8 km) east.


      The Jones Beach Air Show Provides Historic Precedents

      Jones Beach hosts the annual two-day AIR Show.

      Therefore, historical precedents exist for:


      • a multi-day event


      • gatherings of 100,000+ spectators


      • very high levels of noise

      F1 Jones Beach Tower

      Formula 1 New York F1 New York F1 NY F1 Long Island US Grand Prix New York

      Jones Beach

      The Jones Beach Tower (monument) could be draped annually with 187 foot (57m) tall, 25 foot (7.6m) wide banners of the teams, sponsors, and F1 venues worldwide blowing in the summer wind of the Atlantic Ocean.


      An annual iconic image such as this, along with all the other images of F1 New York indicated within this proposal, will be seen worldwide via social media, promoting Jones Beach State Park, New York State, and magnifying the F1 Brand in the most elegant and exclusive ways imaginable.


      Emphasizing to the world year after year Formula One's:


      • Two proposed positions within New York State Jones Beach and Manhattan


      • F1's multiple positions in America, including Texas and New York


      • F1's multiple North American positions incl. Mexico City and Montreal
