U.S. GP has a long-term future, says COTA's Epstein

(Reuters) - U.S. Grand Prix organisers are hoping singer-songwriter Taylor Swift will attract new fans and a sell-out crowd to their Formula One race in Austin, Texas after the venue was confirmed on Wednesday following months of uncertainty.

Circuit of the Americas (COTA) chairman Bobby Epstein told Reuters that the race, previously in doubt due to the threat of reduced state funding, now had a bright future.
