The cancellation of the U.S. Grand Prix is a big loss for Texas but Austin's Circuit of the Americas will aim to attract more fans next year, promoter Bobby Epstein said on Friday after Formula One's announcement.

"We sold out last year, we would’ve expected to sell out this year and next year we’ll hopefully go and make room for even bigger capacity," Epstein told Austin's American-Statesman newspaper. "You really would be betting now on the situation getting a lot better, and I don’t think anyone’s willing to place that bet," he said.
