Two race U.S. Platform

New York and the elusive skyscraper solution

Under the auspices of Formula One Management, FOM, an unprecedented second race, was announced before the Circuit of the Americas was even completed, a second race on the east coast, through the urban-residential streets of Weehawken, New Jersey, directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan skyscrapers.

Under the auspices of Formula One Management, FOM, an unprecedented second race, was announced before the Circuit of the Americas was even completed, a second race on the east coast, through the urban-residential streets of Weehawken, New Jersey, directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan skyscrapers.


The proposed New Jersey race was named, The Grand Prix of America, a different name, to create a completely implausible, illogical, and indefensible separation from the U.S. Grand Prix at Austin.


On October 25, 2011, New Jersey Governor Chris Christy confirmed the race in a press conference on the shores of the Hudson River.

The announcement of the New Jersey race was perceived, particularly in Texas, as the undermining of COTA.  Ironically enough, what was deemed an appallingly unacceptable proposal; of an additional race to Austin, Texas, is today and utterly uncontested and accepted eventuality.


An objective of a second race was to gain public interest and 

The announcement of the New Jersey race was perceived, particularly in Texas, as the undermining of COTA.  Ironically enough, what was deemed an appallingly unacceptable proposal; of an additional race to Austin, Texas, is today and utterly uncontested and accepted eventuality.


An objective of a second race was to gain public interest and increase commercial market share within America, which, 11 years later, F1 is still trying to figure out how to accomplish.

As a result, the Weehawken Grand Prix, and a long-sought-after two race platform involving the New York Tri-State area, never materialized.  


Since driving 20 F1 cars on narrow, residential, partly tree-lined streets, past semi-detached middle-class homes, in Weehawken, New Jersey, while pretending it's a New York event, is almost as crazy

As a result, the Weehawken Grand Prix, and a long-sought-after two race platform involving the New York Tri-State area, never materialized.  


Since driving 20 F1 cars on narrow, residential, partly tree-lined streets, past semi-detached middle-class homes, in Weehawken, New Jersey, while pretending it's a New York event, is almost as crazy as proposing a large-scale temporary venue within an expansive oceanfront park, where the race would benefit the park, which by the way, actually is in New York.


 —Finally, giving F1 a New York address. 

The New Jersey and the U.S. Grand Prix at Jones Beach proposals are attempting to solve the holy grail of F1 in America:

  

  • how to bring Formula 1 to New York


  • support two U.S. races


  • increase F1's audience and sponsorship revenue


One answer is having two races, which seems almost simplistic since there has never been a shortage of cities or exi

The New Jersey and the U.S. Grand Prix at Jones Beach proposals are attempting to solve the holy grail of F1 in America:

  

  • how to bring Formula 1 to New York


  • support two U.S. races


  • increase F1's audience and sponsorship revenue


One answer is having two races, which seems almost simplistic since there has never been a shortage of cities or existing venues, including established street circuits, to achieve a second race.  

You see, after 60 years, chipping away at deeply rooted historical problems by adding a race event anywhere may not be what's needed without having first addressed:


  • the prospect of bringing Formula 1 to New York


  • the lack of awareness and understanding of F1


  • the monumental lack of self-promotion by F1 in America


The attempt at a two race platform, comprised of New Jersey & Texas, did not consider these issues.  It remains to be seen if the Florida & Texas combination with a race at the Dolphin NFL Stadium in Miami can?


  

TwO Race U.S. Platform - Combined Ability

Formula One in the New York Metropolitan Area

The Texas-New Jersey combination was an attempt at realizing, in part, 7 concepts of the U.S. Grand Prix at Jones Beach proposal:


  • F1 belongs in New York


  • F1 needs multiple races in America.


  • sustainability through a stable two race platform


  • a permanent advertising presence in Manhattan


  • actualy counteract F1's absence from America and the region


  • confidently reach F1's American target market


  • finally, bridge Formula 1 Racing to non-motorsports audiences

       (particularly to women, as a new and fashionable entertainment option.)


///  Two Race U.S. Platform  ///  F1 Double Grand Prix

Two Race U.S. Platform - Texas and New York

Combined ability

Manhattan, the media capital, and the pure magic of Jones Beach, with American centric circuit and race visibility, have the combined ability to achieve all these objectives and provide Formula One Racing a sustainable future by:


  • announcing F1 before & during its arrival phase


  • amplifying F1 during its time in America and the region


  • reinforcing F1 long after it departs the region


Then, repeating this unparalleled, cumulative support cycle from New York year after year, not only for the benefit of the North American races but for all F1 races.


Effectively keeping America permanently connected to Formula One and its races worldwide and the world, connected to F1's presence in Manhattan, Jones Beach, and Austin, Texas.
