Motorsports trend for 2024: everything is a bad taste joke now

Ah, Imola. Can't help loving Imola, its hilly vistas, lush vegetation, old villas and the sea of tifosi. Amidst the ever more common street circuits and cityscapes, Imola feels like a health ranch where you can relax and revitalise - and enjoy motorsport.


Looking very much forward to the weekend, indeed. I already enjoyed WEC 6h race a few weeks ago (although it was spiced-up by the weather conditions). Furthermore, it's great to have full support package for the first time this season, i.e, F3/F2/Porsches. Given the amount of gravel traps (and the newly installed ones), it will be very easy to end your session by beaching it. That will add extra challenge for the drivers which I always welcome.
Should be a dry weekend, but it's still early to tell for sure.

Ah, the first real classic racetrack of the season.
Hard to tell how the race will be as we have had 3 wet years in a row, but it is one I´m looking forward to.
