rubecula Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Not really they prefer NASCAR, even Indicar is a smaller thing to NASCAR over there. They don't go for single seat racing in the same way as the rest of the world. They will get decent enough crowds I think but they are a country of over 350 million people so there will always be someone to watch, but F1 will have a lower number of spectators than other places (percentage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Will F1 be well received in the US'? It's not like it's new to them...had a US Grand Prix on and off since 1959 at loads of different tracks. One of the most memorable races ever for me was John Watson winning from 22nd on the grid at Long Beach in 1983 . In general though the Yanks are supremely indifferent to it, particularly since there are no American drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
