I think it's only in the past five years or so that those races started being held in the US. I know that they just had the first one in Vegas a bit ago. Detroit used to have a grand prix in the downtown area, but I am not sure they still do.
They held the first F1 championship race in America in 1959...I missed that one because I wasn't born. The first Las Vegas F1 race was held in 1981. Tom Sneva won that one in a March-Ford. Mario Andretti was second...can't recall third...John someone. Been racing in the States for a long time. F1 is owned by Liberty Media...Americans.
Did they stop for a while? I swear they were hyping up this recent race in Vegas like it was the first time they had ever held it there.
First time since 1984. They've been racing in COTA for years though. circuit of the Americas. A long history of F1 in America.
Yeah, I'm not into the Las Vegas race and didn't really like all the sparkles they added to the "spectacle", I'm into the racing not DJ's, rap stars and other such people with an over-inflated sense of themselves...AI just want to watch car racing. I prefer the race at COTA.
