There would be unless they ran the events on separate days. Silverstone can only cater for so many spectators, and the GP has been opened up to about 140,000 now and over the last few years it has been sold out completely on the Sunday. And that's both the grandstands and general admittance.
And if last year was anything to go by, if you arrived much after 06.00 to grab your space, then actually seeing much of the track was almost impossible. |

And also how close does the motoGP get to sold out? Firstly - I know this is massively hypothetical. But lets assume for a moment that Silverstone was seriously considering hosting motoGP and F1 over the same weekend. The Sunday would obviously have little room to boost revenue, and would on paper equal existing F1 revenue and take zero of the existing motoGP revenue. On the Saturday though, I would imagine F1 generates a marginal revenue stream, and probably far less than a motoGP Sunday. By hosting the motoGP main event on a Saturday, that would in effect transfer the majority of the motoGP revenue to the Saturday, and possibly reduce some operating overheads as they are covering both events on a single weekend. You will also see a possible increase from crossover income (concessions, merchandise etc.) between different spectator groups. Looking at motoGP and F1 alone, then it would probably result in a reduced revenue - but from the overall Silverstone model they would have two significant revenue streams consolidated into a single weekend, which can then be bolstered by an additional operating weekend for hosting another event (assuming there is something viable). I'm also assuming that it would take minimal work for motoGP to operate from a second pit lane, but given the Silverstone configuration(s) I think this should be possible. But hey - this is probably all a dream and we'll see the British round of F1 taken off the calendar before we see a shared event?! |

They've been running a double header at Long Beach since 2007, with originally an ALMS round, now IMSA, on Saturday and the IndyCar race on Sunday. |

Even if it doesn't ever happen, I'm loving the way the discussion on this is even-handed, as though it *could*. Have a doughnut

With regards to Southern California, if IMSA wanted to be the headliner, not that I think they are seen as a support act, the could always hold their own event at Fontana. It's not an analogy, it's an example of how two different series can successfully run their respective races on the same weekend and over a number of seasons. |

A return to Indy for both series could be a viable option in terms of track layouts and size to accommodate a huge crowd...provided price was right for them.

Chase Carey has said that there are 5, possibly 6 cities in the US interested in hosting an F1 round.

I seem to remember reading an article where it said that those involved in the promotion of the Indy car race were looking at F1 as the publicity from Indy car had gone down over recent years.

28th September 2016 Circuit gradings Checking back further it was listing as being grade 2 with a licence that ran out in April of 2016. Feb 2015 list f Singapore isn't on the most recent list because it's licence expired 2 days previous the publishing of this document. The date is expire date on it's license can be. seen in the 2015 document. Given it's on the the F1 calendar this year, they have obviously re-applied for and gained a new license. |

The question is, IF this was to go ahead, is the US having 6, potentially 7 F1 rounds per year, fair? Does F1 really need 7 rounds just in the US? Which of the other rounds would be axed to make way for 7 rounds in the US?
Some people feared that once Liberty Media took over, there'd be more F1 races in the US as a result - and less races outside of Europe. One more US round yes, but 7 rounds is just not right IMO. |

Given Liberty were talking about 25 races I'd suggest 3 at most, a spring time race on the East coast, a June race double header with Montreal in a Northern state, and then Austin doubled with Mexico later in the season as it currently sits.
