The management of the IndyCar series has notified its Formula 1 colleagues of a possible infringement of their registered trademarks in connection with the Miami and Las Vegas Grands Prix.
At the award ceremony in Miami, American rapper LL Cool J called Formula 1 “the greatest spectacle in motorsport”, almost literally copying the 1985 registered slogan “500 miles from Indianapolis” – “The greatest spectacle in racing”.
A promotional video for the Las Vegas Grand Prix released by Formula One in March called the series “the greatest racing spectacle in the world” and labeled the city as the “sports and entertainment capital of the world”, again almost verbatim a copy of the Indianapolis race track. slogan, “The Racing Capital of the World”. “.
IndyCar contacted Liberty Media and asked them not to repeat these rules.
Mark Miles, CEO of Penske Entertainment Corp., owner of IndyCar and IMS, said: “I don’t expect the abuse to continue. I had a brief dialogue with them when the Vegas commercial came out, then we quickly agreed on everything, so I was surprised by the line that was said in Miami. However, I don’t think this was an order from above.
