What is the Netflix Cup about?
The Netflix Cup is the third Formula 1 racing event held in America debuting this year. As mentioned before, the teams from the channel’s popular shows, Drive to Survive and Full Swing will be competing in the inaugural event airing on November 14.
Las Vegas Grand Prix CCO, Emily Prazer, said:
“The continued success of Drive to Survive has played a significant role in the growth of Formula 1 in the US, which has ultimately led to the addition of a third American race.”
The tournament is kicking off with a golf challenge between the contestants. The four drivers and four golfers participating in the event have been paired, to face off with another pair. Each golfer is teamed with a driver. This is aimed to be a fun start to the Las Vegas Grand Prix tournament.
As Emily said,
“It’s only fitting that we kick off our inaugural race weekend with a fun event that can be streamed by F1 and PGA Tour fans around the globe.”
While all the rules for the tournament are not yet announced, the four teams are set to play in a Matchplay format to score over eight holes.
Golfers finalized for the tournament are Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas and Max Homa. The Formula 1 drivers competing in the Netflix Cup are Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly. Golfer Tony Finau is joining the team too.
Will there be a replay option after the Netflix Cup livestream event ends?
Netflix is broadcasting the event live. As with any live-action event, the program can be paused and re-run as the event continues.
However, those who miss the live-action event or want to watch a replay of the tournament will get the opportunity to do so in a few days. As with other live-action shows on Netflix, Netflix Cup will be made available for replay later on.
