Zero expectations as so far the races here have been forgettable. It's a pity F2 and F3 do not race here as they probably would provide more action. F1 Academy cars are too slow and the grid of 16 too small to become excited. If only F1 would race at Barber instead. I'd be so hyped. But they always choose the worst tracks anyone can imagine. |

I can't decide whether this track or COTA is worse. It's a tough call. |

This venue was created purely to create $$$ and buzz in the American market. I doubt there was much regard given to the quality of racing. So sadly, an American race at a venue like Barber will probably never happen, as much racing purists would love it. |

The last thing we want is for modern F1 to touch Barber, or Elkhart Lake, Road Atlanta, Mid Ohio, Lime Rock or VIR. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk |

Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk What do you mean by "touched" do you mean layouts being changed? Because as far as I can tell, the layout changes F1 has made in recent history to circuits have improved them. Silverstone, Zandvoort, Albert Park, Singapore. The only circuit I'd say was ruined was Mexico City (looking at the 2024 calendar). When Mugello and Portimao were put on the calendar they didn't change them, even go back as far as A1 Ring - that hasn't changed. If you mean "touched" by run offs being changed, then I think it would be worth it. I personally think they could race at Road America tomorrow, they'd probably have to run the motorbike chicane before that fast kink, but I'd still love to see that. |

What's the hate for Miami while everyone loves the parade tracks like Imola, Monaco and Hungary every single year. Miami is a track you can pass on. After DRS was instroduced, I grew to hate overtaking with passion. It's no longer a source of enjoyment but irration. What I like in F1 today are driver's tracks like Suzuka, Zandvoort or Spa. If F1 raced at Barber or Road America, and it would be a zero-overtake race, I would still love it 10000x more than Miami or COTA just because off the challenge, the old-school nature of the track and genuine atmosphere where the main event is not the nightclubs or the pop concert after the the race. To summarize: The spirit of Goodwood over the spirit of money. |

What's the hate for Miami while everyone loves the parade tracks like Imola, Monaco and Hungary every single year. Miami is a track you can pass on. Imola has the true atmosphere with real passion and real history. Miami has overpriced tickets, shows and food and is a prime example of how to make as much money as possible. They try to force the atmosphere by making a fake harbour and other elements that are just not there. Give me a hill of crazy Italian fans over a parking lot with ultra rich spectators and fake stuff anytime. Monaco is terrible for racing. And yes, it is overpriced and full of rich people. But it does not have to create the atmosphere, it IS the atmosphere. There will always only be one Monaco, no matter how other new venues would like to try and copy it. We need fast tracks with run-off, we need technical tracks, and we need a Monaco where there is zero limit. We do not need 5 street tracks, but we need one Monaco once per season. Hungary: this used to be the worst track of the season, together with Barcelona. While Barcelona is still terrible each year, Hungary has really improved and passing is possible. Boring DRS in turn 1, or close wheel to wheel for several corners action in turn 2-3. Drop Barcelona any time, but Hungary is no longer the procession it used to be. Meanwhile, Miami is just the main character in The Offspring - Pretty fly for a white guy |

Well, maybe we'll get lucky and it'll rain in Miami on Sunday... |

well they're at Miami and could work to make a Mickey Mouse track at south beach or Brickell but they rather went to a Mickey Mouse at a parking lot next to a drainage canal at least they could experiment things like fake rain, hazardous runoff areas to stop penalizing track limits and so |

I personally think they could race at Road America tomorrow, they'd probably have to run the motorbike chicane before that fast kink, but I'd still love to see that. Mugello and Portimao were built to Grade 1 regs I think. Plus they ran Mugello during Covid when they'd have taken anything even close to a G1 circuit. Barber, Road America, Mid-Ohio, Lime Rock, VIR are perfect the way they are. Keep F1 far away from them until the track regs are changed. Every one of them would require track changes that would wreck their character... Not to mention that they would need hundreds of millions of dollars of paddock/track amenity upgrades. You think F1 would work out of shipping crates? No U.S. track that currently DOES NOT host F1 has a paddock capable of doing so. Shit, their rebuilding Monza's paddock because it doesn't have enough suites and hospitality. I've said it before... I'd just as soon F1 race at COTA and COTA alone. We don't need 3 GP's. American's are fickle. Soon enough we'll be back to one race when Miami and Vegas lose their luster. I get up to watch F1 because it's not here. I was hooked on the mystique 30 years ago and the more they race on our shores the less mystique there is. I know that's just my take not shared by many, if anyone. So be it. |

Yeah, more hospitalities... but then you get a 580 € worth seat on the front straight (in a COVERED grandstand) fully decorated with pigeon shit... (true story). I've been saying this for years now, but F1 is pushing their luck: it's just not only becoming a sport for rich people (ok, it's been like that for decades now) but also for rich audiences only. Exactly the kind of audience who wouldn't think twice about jumping ship as soon as it loses the cool factor. And I honestly can't bear to sit in front of the tv watching cars race in a stadium parking lot around a fake marina with fake yachts and painted water, pretending it's Miami shoreline. It's just too much. |

The blue wheel covers are the worst part. So disappointing. |

Yeah, the covers are awful and that shade of blue badly clashes with the red. -11/10 |
