Perhaps they should have considered a US fan could combine booking a flight, hotel and tickets to an overseas race cheaper than the Vegas GP ticket alone?
I've commented and acted on this numerous times. Going to Silverstone and Suzuka the last few years has been cheaper overall than Miami or Vegas (and honestly gave COTA a run for its money) and we're phenomenal experiences.
Nevermind Mexico City which was significantly cheaper and significantly better than any of the US ones as a patron.
Ninja edit: as someone who lives on the East Coast of the US
Iβm a midwesterner and Iβve been seriously looking at Spain or silverstone, Mexico is very tempting as well but last I looked it was more expensive than the European races
It is more expensive of a ticket in CDMX, but hotels and food are very inexpensive. But either way, I think your dollar goes further than it does in the US. Wild!
That's worse than I thought, I was pricing against somewhere like Belgium or Hungary lol. I'd rather go to Silverstone than Vegas or Miami any day.
Here's my little write up of Mexico City in 2022. I'm planning to do them for all of the races I've been to recently

Yeah - as a Californian I considered driving to see it - day long road trip out there, stay for the Grand Prix, day trip home.
I stopped considering when I saw the prices.
Hell, I live in NY and was considering making the drive before I saw the prices.
