The strange attraction of the American Grand Prix in Formula One

The Circuit of the Americas will host a 23-meter cowboy hat with a restaurant inside on the eve of the Formula One Grand Prix.

According to the report of Sports 3 and quoted by Ambassador Arjan, on the eve of the American Grand Prix in Formula One racing, the American Raceway (COTA) is unveiling a different attraction; A giant cowboy hat with a height of about 23 meters, inside which a restaurant with a wild west atmosphere is built.

If approved, this project could claim the title of the world's largest cowboy hat.

The return of 8-cylinder engines to Formula One / legendary sound?

Bobby Epstein, the head of the American track, confirmed the dimensions of this structure and said that this helmet is made of fiberglass and its height reaches 75 feet, equivalent to about 23 meters. Visitors to the Lone Star Land section of the track can access the restaurant inside. According to the published report, the construction of this structure is nearing its final stages.

Epstein said in an interview with Athletic magazine: I thought the track should have a tourist attraction with some kind of Guinness World Record.

"Instead of a regular tent, why not make a 75-foot cowboy hat?"

Currently, there is no official Guinness World Record for the largest cowboy hat; Therefore, if this attempt is approved, a new category may be defined in these records. Epstein also expects the structure to remain at the track year-round and not just be erected for the Grand Prix.

Lone Star Land is a western farm-style area of ​​the track that features events such as folk dancing and high-rope shows.

According to Fox San Antonio, the statue of a cowboy boot in this city is 10.74 meters high; This means that the new helmet of American track will be almost twice as tall. Guinness also recorded that in 2012, 39,13 people gathered at Angel Stadium in Anaheim wearing cowboy hats.
