I'm confused now. I want to be rich, should I bang Eastern-European girls or invest in London real estate?

Well, the Eastern European girls will bleed you dry and you have to be uber rich to afford a small one room flat in London now.

Yes don't mess with Eastern Europeans, she was the one who eventually broke him after a 15 kids in 20 years ultra secret run behind his wifes back.

There are roads in Central Park that can be easily closed without causing much disruption. Most weekends NYRR do just that.

For example - http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=6868138

Start / Finish at Tavern on the Green, 1.7 miles in length.

I just hope that street circuits are just a temporary phase for electric motorsports, and won't become a permanent "greener" alternative that would steer away from traditional circuits in the countryside to save on transportation costs, public transiting by car to the event, etc...

No, it's a thing for the series. Look at how many places they are going that we just dreamed of before. And close walls are good to separate boys from men.

I do hope it's permanent. The series is giving attention to and now is popularising brand new circuits that aren't just a collection of white lines drawn over an Aldi car park.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

I hear you for now, but i mean in like 20 years when electric racing is better with more power and autonomy I hope they'll eventually go to actual race tracks like Monza Donington park Spa etc...

I rather see traditional motorsport venues personally, but I think street circuits have their place on the calendar as well. I think if they mixed it up and did it 50/50 it would be alright. At least they had 1 this year (Mexico City, abeit that being a hybrid circuit)

If this is anything like the Indycar tender process it'll be great to see the proposed designs then they'll just go with the ugliest one because it's the company they're already using.

They didn't go with the ugliest one though, the Swift was uglier and the DeltaWing...

Delta Wing was not used due to spectators under 18 from what I heard ;-)

But man they are literally killing the open wheel racing right now.
This is total BS
