赛道之外的赛车文化。车手生活方式、时尚、旅行、设计与那些让赛车超越运动本身的故事。
奥斯汀即将迎来一个盛大的周末，该市旅游主管表示，随着一级方程式赛车（F1）赛事来到得克萨斯州，美国大奖赛对该地区的价值可能达到约10亿美元。Visit Austin总裁兼首席执行官汤姆·努南对赛车驶上赛道感到兴奋。但乐趣远比那更早开始。
“这些[F1]车队会提前七到九天抵达城里，”努南告诉KXAN。“这相当于在比赛开始之前就已经有一场全市性的大会了。”
他也享受着全球曝光度。“想想F1期间奥斯汀、得克萨斯乃至全世界的所有目光，”他说。“这太不可思议了。这对我们来说也是一个很棒的营销平台。”
据KXAN报道，比赛周末奥斯汀酒店的入住率可能达到95%。对某些商家来说，这场比赛是一年中最大的活动之一。酒店经理乔安娜·麦克里里说：“这实际上是我们经历过的最好的十月。这家酒店自2010年开业以来创下了纪录。”

她继续说道：“一级方程式，仅仅那四天，就约占我们年收入的7%。显然，我们全年365天都营业。”
麦克里里还表示，由于赛历上的不确定性，这场比赛变得更受欢迎。“我认为，今年的比赛受到了这样一个事实的影响：一些全球分站要么被取消，要么变得有些悬而未决，”她说。
特拉维斯县表示，据报道自2012年以来，这场比赛已为得克萨斯州中部带来超过100亿美元的收入，其中包括该县每年超过10亿美元的收入。因此，他们会很高兴得知，美洲赛道将至少举办F1赛事至2034年，去年已同意续约八年。这将使美洲赛道成为美国举办F1赛事时间最长的场地，超过沃特金斯格伦。

F1's arrival in Austin could trigger staggering $1 billion economic boost
Austin's tourism chief believes the 2026 United States Grand Prix could generate around $1 billion in economic activity

Motorsport culture beyond the track. Driver lifestyle, fashion, travel, design and the stories that make racing more than a sport.
Austin is in for a big weekend, and the city's tourism chief says the United States Grand Prix could be worth around $1billion to the area as the Formula 1 circus arrives in Texas. Tom Noonan, president and chief executive of Visit Austin, is excited for the cars to arrive on track. But the fun starts much earlier than that.
“These [F1] teams get in town like seven to nine days in advance,” Noonan told KXAN. “It’s the equivalent of having like a citywide convention in town even before the race even starts.”
He's also enjoying the global exposure. “Think about all the eyeballs in Austin, Texas, around the world during Formula 1,” he said. “It’s incredible. It’s a great marketing platform for us too.”
KXAN reports that Austin hotels could reach 95% occupancy over the race weekend. And for some businesses, the race is one of the biggest events of the year. Hotel manager Joanna McCreary said: “This is the best October we’ve ever actually. This hotel has had on record since we’ve been open since 2010.”

She continued: “Formula 1, just those four days, is about 7% of our annual revenue. And obviously we’re open for 365.”
McCreary also suggested the race has become more popular due to uncertainty across the calendar. “The race, I think, this year was impacted by the fact that some of the global destinations were either cancelled or a little more touch and go,” she said.
Travis County has said the race has reportedly generated more than $10billion for Central Texas since 2012, including more than $1billion a year in the county. So they will be happy with the fact that the Circuit of the Americas will host F1 until at least 2034 after a eight-year extension was agreed last year. That will make COTA the longest-serving F1 venue in the United States, overtaking Watkins Glen.
