I agree; that Korean foray was the worst!

Recent editorials point to one common thing among the current tracks that makes the racing so poor; they're all Tilke designs. The grand old tracks that we love are not, and they are dwindling in number. Let's hope all the hype about this one holds up, but he's going to have to break his mold.

Got it now - metrosexuals in cowboy boots. F1 has that covered...

Personally, I'm lookin' forward to checkin' out Wild Bubbas.

Your level of obsession is astounding. Join forces with. A Wayne and take a day off

I lent Schumi that outfit... :roflmao:

Belt buckle too?

Rodeo.

You know you want to. ;)

Way too much of a stuffed shirt to pull it off... :surr:

Like boxing, that's his champtionship belt. Notice the 7 stars on the buckle? :D

How much fun do you think a PCA club race would be on this track? The F1 tracks seem just too big, wide and open for the speeds our cars do....

I'm gonna stay at VRs house! :jumper:

Got room for one more?

How's the yak?

In the end, most of the party is at the camp sites right next to track anyway (I'd venture a guess there's plenty of field around this track venue).

Nobody will argue Montreal or Monaco is the best way to party F1 weekend but I've also been in Hockenheim (back when it was still the old, long track) and Hungaroring and both of those places have nothing close by.
There's of course Budapest etc. 30 mins or so away (much like Austin) but when I've been there, 80% of the audience stays right where the track is and it's just a huge party between hard core F1 fans.

Plenty of mocking between Finns, Germans, Italians etc. but all in good spirits.

I admit, my best ever F1 experience was Monaco, it's just such a holy grail of F1 and an awesome place but we always had a huge blast in Hungary and Hockenheim so Austin will be just fine place to host an F1 party.

Anyone in scaffolding business?
In Hungary there were these crazy Germans who every year built this scaffolding that was easily 130 feet tall. You'd see it from everywhere and no doubt, they saw every bit if track.
Here's an example from Italy, pretty cool but nothing, and I mean nothing, compared to those crazy guys in Hungary.

I've been to Montreal many times and it's the best for a great weekend. Silverstone is a gorgeous facility and I enjoyed it there last year, luckily the weather was perfect. The best experience though, hands down, in terms of rabid fans, was Monza!

Looks like the prancing horse in the middle as well.
