WILLIAMS RACE DAY HOSPITALITY: United States F1 GP 2023

On 22nd October 2023 we were back at the Williams Experience Centre for ‘Race Day Hospitality’. This week was for the United States F1 GP.

The United States Grand Prix dates back to the early 1900s, when it was known as The Grand Prize and run on tracks in Long Island (New York) and Savannah (Georgia). America’s other big motor race, the Indianapolis 500, also traces its history back to this period. The Indy 500 was also one of the inaugural races during the first 11 years of the modern Formula 1 World Championship (1950-60). After, the Watkins Glen circuit near New York established a solid place on the F1 calendar for 20 consecutive years, from 1961-80.

The F1 circus also visited other stateside venues in the 1980s, although none of the races held were referred to as the US Grand Prix. A street circuit in Long Beach, California, hosted the United States Grand Prix West between 1975-83, Las Vegas joined the fray with the Caesers Palace Grand Prix in the car park of the casino of the same name (1981-1984) and a city-center street circuit hosted the Detroit Grand Prix (1982-1988).

The US Grand Prix returned in 1989, this time to a street circuit in Phoenix, Arizona. After three poorly attended races, F1 disappeared from the US for almost 10 years. The 3.427-mile (5.515 km) circuit is situated on 890 acres (3.6 km2) and is located 14 miles (22km) southeast of central Austin. It has a challenging, undulating layout with a high point on the apex of the opening corner. Features of the circuit include a distinctive 77m observation tower, the landscaped ‘Grand Plaza’ area, Austin360 Amphitheater and the permanent main grandstand, which holds 9000 fans. As well as hosting the US Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Circuit of the Americas also stages annual MotoGP and FIA World Endurance Championship races.

The 2020 United States Grand Prix was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the event returned in 2021 with a sell-out crowd in attendance. Over 400,000 fans flocked to the circuit over the race weekend.With the sport’s popularity rising in America, the United States Grand Prix was joined by a second race in the country in 2022. The inaugural Miami Grand Prix took place in May 2022 and the two events will be joined by the Las Vegas Grand Prix from 2023 onwards.

In February 2022, it was announced that Circuit of The Americas will remain as host of the United States Grand Prix until at least 2026. Attendance figures soared to a new high at the 2022 United States Grand Prix. 440,000 fans attended over the weekend, making it the best-attended American race in F1 history, as well as one of Formula 1’s best-attended events in history.
