The mind-blowing thing about this picture is the amount of open undeveloped land in the immediate vicinity of the Strip.
Yep that has certainly changed.
my parents just dropped me off by myself. That was normal then!
Yep, that has certainly changed too. :wink:

Picture this in an F1 car, and tell me how this wouldn't boring. It would be very few corners that amount of anything, and mostly flat out.

Yes, that would be dull. An F1 car wouldn't go below 5th gear on that course. It'd be physically demanding but it would not be good to watch.

If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

I like the Daytona idea...could not suck more than than MonteC and 4 or 5 others I could mention. Heck the Indy oval used to be on the calendar.

The worst thing about this is that it's not even clear whether they'll get two GPs in the US or if this will replace COTA .......

I would have preferred to see F1 at Daytona Wec circuit.

It's not replacing COTA, Domenicalli just said on Sky that they are going to schedule the Miami race so it doesn't clash with the COTA race.

I'd say any one of recent "covid" tracks is likely to go, so it'll be imola or portugal if they're still on the calendar next year.
