美国大奖赛将迎来奇特新景观
官方将在美国大奖赛前的周四检查建设情况
赛车文化超越赛道。车手生活方式、时尚、旅行、设计和那些让赛车不仅仅是一项运动的故事。
一级方程式已经带给我们介于赌场之间的街道赛道、维修区隧道和设有假码头的停车场。现在，美国赛车场希望展示世界上最大的牛仔帽，内部还设有酒吧，并希望吉尼斯世界纪录能注意到这一创举。
这将在即将到来的美国大奖赛上发生，届时一名吉尼斯世界纪录官员将在比赛周末之前于周四检查这座建筑的建造情况。
COTA总裁鲍比·爱泼斯坦确认了这座巨无霸的尺寸。它由玻璃纤维制成，高度为75英尺——大约23米——内部将设有以西部为主题的酒吧，从Lone Star Land进入，这是为观众建造的赛道一部分。据信这座建筑的建造工作即将完成。
“我认为赛道应该有一个带有某种吉尼斯世界纪录的旅游景点，”爱泼斯坦告诉《The Athletic》。他希望有一个地标，即使F1赛事不在镇上，人们也能认出来。“与其建一个普通的帐篷，为什么不建一个75英尺高的牛仔帽呢？”
公平地说，我们大多数人都会满足于帐篷。
没有现存的吉尼斯世界纪录追踪最大的牛仔帽——也许并不令人意外，这意味着如果科塔确实被吉尼斯认证为纪录尝试，它可能开始这个类别。爱泼斯坦还预计这顶帽子将全年留在场地，而不仅仅是为一级方程式赛车而竖立。
如果你还没去过，孤星州土地是科塔的牧场主题粉丝区。这个赛道以传统的西部美学而受到全州的欢迎，粉丝区经常举办诸如行列舞和绳索演示等表演，偶尔还会在混合中扔进一顶斯特森帽。
对于德克萨斯州来说，有多大才算大？
这顶帽子在当地有一些竞争。圣安东尼奥的福克斯新闻报道，最大的牛仔靴雕塑高达10.74米，所以科塔的帽子将比它高大约一倍。吉尼斯还在2012年记录了在天使体育场有39,013人戴着牛仔帽，这是科塔看台有机会与之匹敌的聚会，如果每个人都记得带上斯特森帽的话。
奥斯汀还发生了什么？
这个周末，基米·安东内利可能在奥斯汀获得冠军头衔，威廉姆斯车队计划在粉丝区展示其漫威主题的展示车。您可以点击以下链接了解更多。

The United States Grand Prix is getting a bizarre new attraction
An official will inspect the construction on Thursday before the United States Grand Prix
Motorsport culture beyond the track. Driver lifestyle, fashion, travel, design and the stories that make racing more than a sport.
Formula 1 has given us street circuits between casinos, a pitlane tunnel, and a paddock with a fake marina. Now the Circuit of the Americas wants the world's largest cowboy hat, complete with a bar inside, and it's hoping Guinness World Records might take note of it.
This will all happen at the upcoming United States Grand Prix, where a Guinness official will inspect the build on the Thursday ahead of the race weekend.
COTA president Bobby Epstein has confirmed the dimensions of this behemoth. Built from fibreglass, it will be 75 feet in height - roughly 23 metres - and inside will feature a Western-themed bar with access from Lone Star Land, a part of the circuit built for spectators. The construction of the thing is understood to be close to being finished.
"I thought the circuit should have a tourist attraction with some kind of Guinness World Record," Epstein told The Athletic. He wanted a landmark people would recognise even when the F1 circus isn't in town. "Instead of a regular tent, why not build a 75-foot cowboy hat?"
Fair enough. Most of us would have settled for the tent.
No existing Guinness World Record tracks the largest cowboy hat - maybe unsurprisingly, meaning COTA could start the category if it is indeed verified as a record attempt by Guinness. Epstein also expects that the hat will stay at the venue year-round rather than just go up for the F1 race.
If you haven't been, Lone Star Land is COTA's ranch-themed fan zone. The circuit has embraced traditional Western aesthetics with it being so popular across the state, and the fan zone often hosts performances such as line dancing and rope demonstrations, along with the odd Stetson hat thrown in the mix.
How big is big, even for Texas?
The hat has some local competition. Fox San Antonio reports the largest cowboy boot sculpture stands 10.74 metres tall in San Antonio, so COTA's hat would tower over it at roughly double the height. Guinness has also recorded 39,013 people wearing cowboy hats at Angel Stadium in Anaheim in 2012. That's a gathering COTA's grandstands would have a decent shot at matching, if everyone remembered to bring a Stetson.
What else is happening in Austin?
The weekend may see Kimi Antonelli secure a championship title in Austin, and Williams plans to display its Marvel-themed show car in the fan zone. You can read about that by clicking below.
