Formula 1’s new owner Liberty Media has once again shared its target of expanding the calendar and bringing more races to the USA.
A night race on the streets of Las Vegas has been revealed as a possible goal for the future, according to Liberty CEO Greg Maffei.
Liberty is set to complete its F1 takeover next year and already confirmed it is looking to evolve and expand the calendar.
F1’s new chairman Chase Carey recently said he is keen to see the series racing in locations like New York, Miami and Los Angeles.
"I particularly like the idea of a night race in Las Vegas," Maffei is quoted as saying by Reuters.
The current 21-race calendar has, according to some teams, been pushing resources to the limit but Maffei believes there is scope for more races.
He added: "Obviously there is a limit on how much you can do, just getting the cars around the world, but I think we can expect to grow the amount of races to a mild degree.
"There is a general line of interest if you increase the number of races to a point. The FIA makes more money, the teams make more money, we make more money."
