This year Formula 1 matches its record high of races in one nation, as the United States hosts three grands prix. But 40 years ago, it nearly held four in one season - one of them in New York. Here's the story of F1's near-miss in the Big AppleIt seems that, when addressing modern Formula 1’s business sensibilities, it is becoming increasingly impossible not to mention the championship’s boom in popularity over the previous few years.
This is why the United States, capitalism’s own backyard, has landed three races on this year’s schedule. F1 toiled for years in its largely wasted efforts to ‘crack America’; subpar street circuits did nothing to enhance the series’ image in the eyes of Americans brought up on a diet of NASCAR and Indy cars, while F1’s finest racers hated the bumpy, claustrophobic nature of the 90-degree city streets.
