<Ul> <Li> Sebastian Vettel </Li> <Li> Ferrari </Li> <Li> 1: 37.766 </Li> </Ul> <Li> 1: 37.766 </Li> <P> The United States Grand Prix is a motor race which has been held in the U.S. on and off since 1908, when it was known as the American Grand Prize . The race later became part of the Formula One World Championship . As of 2017, the race has been held 47 times, and it has taken place at 10 different locations in total . Since 2012, it has been held every year at the Circuit of the Americas in Elroy, Texas (12 miles (19 km) south of Austin). </P> <P> Inspired by the Gordon Bennett Cup and Circuit des Ardennes races he had competed in, William Kissam Vanderbilt founded a series of road races in the United States to showcase American road racing to the world . The Vanderbilt Cup soon became an institution on New York's Long Island, attracting American and European competitors alike . However, the race was plagued by crowd control problems, which led to spectator deaths and injuries, and the cancellation of the 1907 event . Upon its return for 1908, the American Automobile Association did not adopt the new Grand Prix regulations agreed upon by the Association Internationale des Automobiles Clubs Reconnus (AIACR). This led the rival Automobile Club of America, an enthusiasts group with strong ties to Europe, to sponsor the American Grand Prize, using the Grand Prix rules . The Savannah Automobile Club of Savannah, Georgia about 2 hours north of Jacksonville, Florida had staged a successful stock car race in the spring, won the rights to stage the event . </P>
