Iħjut Id-differenza bejn pjan u proġett

Ma hosting formula 1 joqtlu l-profittabbiltà u l-potenzjal ta ' ċirkwit tat-ti ġrija? Qabel l-a ħħar Daytona 500, il-folk fil Florida ħabbar pjanijiet biex jaġġornaw il-fa ċilitajiet spettatur fil Daytona International Ispeedway. Huwa l-akbar mill-binarji NASCAR u għandu kapaċità ta ' bilqiegħda ta ' kważi 170,000. Il-problema hija li din ma ġietx aġġornata għal żmien twil.
L-g ħan ewlieni tax-xog ħol se jkun li titjieb l-esperjenza tal-fann. Diġà kważi l-ċirkwit kollu jista ' jidher minn kwalunkwe wieħed mis-sits, iżda dawn huma pjuttost qodma u mhux komdi ħafna. Il-pjan huwa wkoll li żżid grad addizzjonali ta ' bilqiegħda fuq in-na ħa ta ' fuq tal-grandstands eżistenti, li huma mili twil. Se jkun hemm suites VIP ġodda.
Barra minn hekk, l-arkitetti ispeedway staqsa rossetti ta ' Southfield, Michigan, biex jiżviluppaw spazji pubbliċi f ' destinazzjonijiet u b ' hekk iħeġġu lill-VI żitaturi biex jiġu qabel u jibqgħu aktar fit-tul (u b ' hekk jonfqu aktar flus). Ir-ri żultat huwa serje interessanti ta ' dak li jissejħu distretti ġewwa l-grandstands.
Se jkun hemm 11 minnhom, inkluż wieħed ċentrali li se jkun wirja storika. L-10 l-o ħra se jipprovdu spazju għall-fannijiet biex jiltaqgħu, jieklu, jixtru u jżuru l-kmamar tal-mistrie ħ. Kull wieħed minn dawn l-oqsma se jkollu skrins tal-vidjow kbar sabiex l-ispettaturi ma jitilfu l-ebda azzjoni. Il-pjan jinkludi wkoll l-installazzjoni ta ' 40 skalaturi f ' ħames żoni ta ' injettatur, li se jagħmluha aktar faċli għall-fannijiet li jiksbu s-sits tagħhom u għall-konkorsijiet varji.
Jikkuntrasta dan mat-t ħabbira reċenti f ' Silverstone li l-binarju mhux se juża l-g ħadma l-ġdida għalja tal-fossa u l-katdock, imsejħa l-ġwienaħ għal din is-snin l-avveniment British GP MotoGP għax il-fannijiet jippreferu l-fa ċilitajiet eqdem.
Sakemm ikollna l-fondi biex nibnu pont jew mina li tgħaqqad in-na ħa ta ' barra taċ-ċirkwit mal-ġwienaħ, il-paddock il-qadim huwa faċilità aktar aċċessibbli għall-fannijiet, spjega Richard Phillips, id-Direttur Maniġerjali ta ' Silverstone.
Iż-żewġ avviżi jenfasizzaw id-differenzi bejn iċ-ċirkwiti tat-tlielaq fl-Istati Uniti u fl-Ewropa. Il-fa ċilitajiet tal-Istati Uniti għandhom il-flus; l-Ewropej ma jagħmlux dan. Il-problema primarja hija li filwaqt li l-binarji jistgħu jkunu sbieħ xi jaqilgħu li jieqfu jekk iridu jħaddmu t-tlielaq tal-formula 1. Il-problema hija l-ħlas annwali mitlub mill-grupp tal-formola għal dritt li wieħed ikollu avveniment, flimkien mad-drittijiet milli għandu jiġi ffirmat.
Dan ifisser li f ' ħafna każijiet l-uniku sors ta ' dħul li jitħalla lill-promotur huwa l-bejg ħ ta ' biljetti, u jekk jiswew wisq jew aċċess huwa diffiċli u faċilitajiet foqra, in-nies ma jħallsux. Allura sakemm Gvern ma jgħinx, m ' hemm l-ebda flus biex l-esperjenza ssir aħjar għall-fannijiet. Lanqas ma hemm flus biex jinbnew faċilitajiet bħal dawn b ' diversi użi, § bħal ċentri ta ' esibizzjoni u Konvenzjoni, swali tal-kun ċerti, Shopping malls, mużewijiet u l-bqija.
Allura l-Silverstone għandu pjan, Daytona għandu proġett.
Il-formula grupp wieħed jgħid li qed tagħmel in-negozju biss, iżda kważi nofs il-flus li jiġġenera l-Isport qed jisparixxu lura lill-istituzzjonijiet finanzjarji u l-ekwità privata, li ma jimpurtahom jekk jagħmlu ħsara lill-Isport fuq perjodu fit-tul jew le. Huma hemm biex jagħmlu Buck quick.
Fl-Amerika l-Isport għandu struttura aħjar. Għad hemm investituri involuti, iżda mhumiex joqtlu l-baqra tal-flus. Huma qed jieklu, biex tiżgura li tkompli tipproduċi għal ħafna snin li ġejjin...

Does hosting Formula 1 kill the profitability and potential of a race circuit?Before the recent Daytona 500, the folk in Florida announced plans to upgrade the spectator facilities at Daytona International Speedway. It is the biggest of the NASCAR tracks and has a seating capacity of nearly 170,000. The problem is that it has not been upgraded for a long time.
The primary goal of the work will be to improve the fan experience. Already almost the entire circuit can be seen from any of the seats, but these are rather old and not very comfortable. The plan is also to add an additional tier of seating on top of the existing grandstands, which are a mile long. There will be new VIP suites.
In addition the speedway asked Rossetti Architects of Southfield, Michigan, to develop public spaces into destinations and by doing so encourage visitors to come earlier and stay longer (and thus spend more money). The result is an interesting series of what are called neighbourhoods inside the grandstands.
There will be 11 of them, including a central one which will be a historical exhibition. The other 10 will provide space for fans to meet, eat, shop and visit the rest rooms. Each of these areas will have large video screens so that the spectators do not miss any of the action. The plan also includes the installation of 40 escalators in five injector zones, which will make it much easier for the fans to get to their seats and to the various concourses.
Contrast this with the recent announcement at Silverstone that the track is not going to use the expensive new pit and paddock complex, called The Wing for this years British GP MotoGP event because the fans prefer the older facilities.
Until we have the funds to build a bridge or tunnel connecting the outside of the circuit with The Wing, the old paddock is a more accessible facility for fans, explained Richard Phillips, the managing director of Silverstone.
The two announcements highlight the differences between the racing circuits in the United States and in Europe. The US facilities have money; the Europeans do not. The primary problem is that while tracks can be nice little earners that stops if they want to run Formula 1 races. The problem is the annual fee demanded by the Formula One group for the right to hold an event, coupled with the rights than must be signed away.
This means that in a lot of cases the only source of revenue left to the promoter is the sale of tickets, and if they cost too much or access is difficult and facilities poor, people will not pay. So unless a government will help out, there is no money to make the experience better for the fans. Nor is there cash to build such multi-use facilities,§ such as exhibition and convention centres, concert halls, shopping malls, museums and so on.
So Silverstone has a plan, Daytona has a project.
The Formula One group says it is just doing business, but almost half the money that the sport generates is disappearing back to the financial institutions and private equity people, who do not care if they damage the sport in the long-term or not. They are there to make a quick buck.
Over in America the sport has a better structure. There are still investors involved, but they are not killing the cash cow. They are feeding it, to make sure it continues to produce for many years to come…
