    US Grand Prix Expects Record Crowd Despite New F1 Rules

    The promoter of the US Grand Prix, Bobby Epstein, expects a record crowd this year despite criticism of Formula One's new rules. The race at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, is scheduled for October 25 as the 18th round of the championship. Epstein attributes the expected record attendance to fans' enthusiasm for the event itself, rather than just the sport. Last year's race had an estimated attendance of over 400,000, and improvements to road infrastructure could allow an additional 15,000 to 30,000 people per day. Formula One has reported record crowds at six of the 11 rounds held so far this season.
