Sounds like fun!
Vegas F1 Race....
.
I’d love to make this Race,
Right after a Indy 500 !
May F1 Racing disappear into the dustbin of history.
The two races in Las Vegas have been great unlike some circuits where the race is pretty well done after the first lap.
I wonder if they remembered to weld down the manholes covers this year?
If you’re so inclined, my weekly anti-hambone rant is in the Eternal F1 thread.
Denver Broncos owner now. He pushed all FIA member clubs to crazy “end racism” chants.
I still remember the old 80s Detroit GP races; those were exciting, as compared to many recent city GPs. But LV is a good one.
If it’s a wet course, that’ll get dicey for them.
Ditto that for me!
That’d be a fast, fun-packed two weeks, for sure.
The Divorce I always Wanted!
</LOL!>
And that it was (qualies, anyway). It makes the processional less boring if the cars are at least squirming through the bends. It reminds me of the olden days when they deliberately slid through the corners.
Not that long ago someone suggested F1 use sprinklers and randomly water the tracks to make the racing less boring. Watching today's qualies, I'm not sure it wouldn't be better than all the artificial crap they keep pushing on the sport; DRS, mandatory pit stops, disinte-Pirellis, time-limited battery power, etc. In fact, a week or so ago the FIA was floating the idea of two mandatory pit stops per event. Which is reinforcing failure with failure.
What they really need is two laps per set of tires. 50-lap race, 24 mandatory pit stops. If all they're considering is the number of overtakes and not the quality, why not maximize that and require a stop every two laps? It definitely would give them loads of overtakes. One lap to get 'em hot, one lap to burn 'em down. It's amplificare ad absurdum.
It also would make all that pitstop equipment more cost-effective.
“...reminds me of the olden days when they deliberately slid through the corners...”
That’s when I really enjoyed F1 racing.
Kristi Noem at the starting line with the dignitaries!!!
Looks like his Village People glitterball helmet wasn't very lucky for him. [sad face]
Nighty-night, all.
That one really gets around!
Not much of an ROI for the Scuderia...
