course description[edit]

There is an article for the course, which was created at Port Imperial Street Circuit, pending official naming. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 14:08, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

59 laps?[edit]

Is there a source for that? I can't find it myself. - The Bushranger One ping only 08:09, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't try to calculate the race distance until the official lap distance is announced. The track has been said to be 3.1 or 3.2 miles long in different sources. --August90 (talk) 08:43, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Page Title[edit]

This page should be titled 'American Grand Prix', not 'Grand Prix of America'. All F1 GP pages are titled in that way, regardless of whether the event name may be 'Grand Prix of ...' or '... Grand Prix'. For example, the European and Indian Grands Prix are known as the Grand Prix of Europe and Grand Prix of India respectively, but their pages still list the European and Indian Grand Prix titles.

  • Then those other pages need to be moved, not this one. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:33, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, no, because it is a standardised format for all Grands Prix, separate to the official title of the Grand Prix - for example we don't use local language variations such as Grosser Pries or Gran Premio. SchueyFan (talk) 01:46, 26 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Grand Prix and Grand Prize[edit]

The present text about the United States Grand Prix includes the 1908-1916 American Grand Prize. Should that information be moved to this article, as the name is almost the same? Does anyone know if the Grand Prix of America might be inspired in name by the American Grand Prize? It was my first thought that it was, when I read about it, but I don't have any source saying it is so. Formion (talk) 21:23, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The 1908-1916 American Grand Prize is the "spiritual predecessor" to the United States Grand Prix, so I think the description of that race should remain at United States Grand Prix. Rather than being inspired by "American Grand Prize", I suspect that the name "Grand Prix of America" was an attempt to make the name of the second F1 race in the USA as different as possible from "United States Grand Prix", to avoid possible confusion between the two events (but I have no evidence to back that up).

Article move: Grand Prix of Jersey?[edit]

I guess I'm the only one who noticed this, but the FIA calendar lists the event as the "Grand Prix of Jersey", interestingly with the caveat that it's in New York apparently... But anyway, is there any other indication that the Grand Prix of America name has been dropped? The359 (Talk) 21:22, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone else is still calling it "Grand Prix of America". [1] - The Bushranger One ping only 00:00, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There's a simple solution to this: mention both names in the article until such time as one becomes predominant. I've already edited the article accordingly. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 01:49, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just so you know, the proposed GP would take place in Weehawken's Port Imperial area, which is indeed in New Jersey. Oddly enough, it will also past through the town of West New York which is (you guessed it) also in New Jersey. It might be referred to as the 'grand prix of New York' in some places simply because there's quite a bit of trashy stigma associated with New Jersey, and the far more prestigious New York City skyline will be the backdrop for the race. This is all contingent upon whether Extortionstone sees fit to take pity on us groveling colonial serfs and perhaps come to terms with the loss of a few paltry millions on his mutli-billion-dollar ledger. If only to potentially launch F1 into the American sphere of interest as an investment vehicle. Sorry for the rant, hope the info helps though. -199.89.103.10 (talk) 14:40, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
