The United States Grand Prix Event Information

The Formula 1 US Grand Prix dates back to the early 1990s, when it was famously known as The Grand Prize. It was held on tracks in Savannah (Georgia) and Long Island (New York). The Formula 1 circus also visited a number of stateside venues in the 1980s, but none of the races was referred to as the United States Grand Prix.

Between 1975 and 1983, a street circuit at Long Beach in California was the home of the United States Grand Prix West. Las Vegas joined the race as a United States Grand Prix venue in the year 1981. The race was held in Las Vegas until the year 1984. Between 1982 and 1988, the city centre street hosted the Detroit Grand Prix.

The United States Grand Prix returned in the year 1989, and this time it was held in a street circuit at Phoenix in Arizona. After a total of three poorly attended motorsport races, Formula 1 disappeared from the United States for about ten years. It returned in the year 2000 to an improved version of the popular Indianapolis oval that included several infield corners.

While initially successful and a massive draw for motorsport fans, the event was marred by lots of controversies. A perfect example was the 2005 US Grand Prix results when only 6 cars took the start just because of a tire dispute. After the last event in the year 2007, the United States have once again remained without a motorsport race. In 2012, the race retuned, and since then, it has only had positive experiences in terms of both viewership and betting.

In the year 2010, an Austin native and former driver, Tavo Hellmund, first announced the plans to build a brand-new purpose-built Formula 1 circuit on the borders of Austin. Ecclestone Bernie supported the idea as well as the project, awarding Tavo and his investors a contract of ten years to stage the United States Grand Prix in the year 2012.

Regardless of some contractual disputes and delays, the US Grand Prix track was completed at a cost of approximately 400m USD and welcomed a total of 117,429 race-day viewers for its inaugural Formula 1 race event in November 2012.

The 5.515-KM (3.427 miles) circuit is located on 890 acres (3.6 KM2), and it is situated 22 KM (14 miles) southeast of central Austin. This historic Grand Prix venue has a challenging as well as undulating layout. Also, it has a high point at the peak of the starting corner.

Aside from hosting the United States Formula 1 Grand Prix events, the circuit also stages yearly FIA World Endurance Championship and MotoGP races.
