“The ESPN contract for Formula 1 expires at the end of the 2022 season.

Incredibly, ESPN was just paying $5 million per year for the last three years.”

---

This explains why in my market, SW Montana, the races have no commercials...P1, P2 & P3 have a few commercials but not the race or qualifying.

ESPN just doesn’t need to cover a large outlay.

Thanks Chode.

Hey — anyone here want to volunteer to help Hambone remove his jewelry?

Askin’ for a friend...

Here's a cool overhead drone video perspective of the Miami track that was shot about a week ago. It gives a unique perspective on how they fit the track around Hardrock Stadium. (7 minute video.)

[Chode]

LOL, yeah, no...

[Chode]

sure, i’ve got pliers...

[Bob434]

Seriously? Dang! Wonder what Indianapolis goes for? That’s about the only one I’d save money to go see if I could, either that or Spa (unless they remove the corner that is so famous. Anyone have update on whether they did or not? I know there was talk of it because the women couldn’t hack it

[Chode]

kool, that fake water is just sooo nasty fake

[zeestephen]

If you ever go to Europe to see Spa, rent a fast car and swing down to Germany.

As far as I know, Nurburgring still allows the public to pay a fee and drive a 14 mile section of the race course.

[jjotto]

Nurburgring can be driven by tourists, as available. Price is 25-30 Euros per lap ($26-32).

[Bob434]

I feel .ike I know thay track inside and out. Got pretty good on it with the v-10, but of course that is simulation, real ,if would be totally different, but still fun as I know,the track pretty well from the game- the bumps, corners, apexes, etc. So it wouldn’t be going in blind.

They took kids who raced nothing but simulations, and let them race on real courses, and the kids said that their experiences In the simms prepared them pretty well for the tracks, knowing where al..the corners, apexes, curbs, bumps etc were, and how hard they could push the vehicle gave them a uhuge advantage.

Jimmy broadbent on YouTube is one such person. He got to drive a Maclaren on a track and did really well. He posted his video of it. The kid has speed and control that’s for sure.

I’d like to drive Porsche around nurturing, but wouldn’t push the car super hard- no do-overs in real life. But woild,be super cool.

[Chode]

WTF???

[Chode]

OK, he screwed up and the ass stepped out

“...either that or Spa (unless they remove the corner that is so famous. Anyone have update on whether they did or not? ...”

The corner was modified to allow more run-off area on the right after this fatal F2 crash. It’s not just the womenfolk whom have issues here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yKhkAHJp58

A bit more run-off will prevent the ‘bounce’ that happened here..

Pretty tough to watch. The driver who lived lost his legs...

Still a great corner! (just a bit safer)

[Bob434]

as long as it’
s the runoff area on the right at top of hill, that would be ok- in my racign games, this corner is the most awesome experience of all the tracks- you gotta hit it just right- with little room for error- as long as they don’t mess with the actual corner and inbound track itself-

[Bob434]

thanks for that- my recording of qualify got cut short- didn’ know where the folks ended up-
