Too bad. I've been to the Shanghai races a few times in person. Nice venue and good track.

Yeah, I went to the 2010 race. What I didn't like is the track is so far away for downtown, and they closed the subway stop at the track, so we had to get off early and hitch a ride the rest of the way.

Are you staying at the COTA campground? Hoping COTA gets renewed next year was gonna trying and book that campground as early as possible.

If anyone has a ticket they want to sell, let me know. It's looking like I'll be able to go

I would buy on Stubhub late next week.


Agree. I am waiting for prices to drop as it gets closer to the event. It's worked for me when I buy football tickets.
Not looking good right now. Supply on the secondary market is way down and prices are up.
The story isn't that [DeSantis] "couldn't win" the primary. The story is that an overwhelming majority of our population is heinously stupid. 50% of them vote for communists. 75% of the remaining 50% vote for Trump, who cant win. When the majority of the opposition party insists on voting for an opposition candidate who can't win, you get exactly the government you deserve. - Well Endowed Ag

I would love to learn about the logistics of F1.

The ability to ship everything, for each race, all over the world with very short windows...it has to be a machine of an operation.

It is, but supply typically doesn't increase drastically if it's already low going into the event. At least not for football & baseball. I'd be surprised if it did for F1 but you never know.

You can generally judge how far prices will fall based on how many tickets are listed on secondary sites.

Agreed. Would love an episode of DtS focusing solely on the operational logistics of it all.

Youtube has some F1 logistics videos. DTS viewer will get bored of it as their is no plot

There are something like 5-6 sets of gear each team has moving around the world during the year, think non critical, offices, chairs, those popup buildings, kitchens, etc.

Then the critical stuff, cars, parts, tools, etc. fly around the world each Sunday night after a race.

Its extremely expensive but what isn't in F1.

There was a 30 minute show on this very subject that I watched a few years ago. I don't remember what it was called - I'll try to find it.

There's a few 10-12 minute videos on YouTube - here's one:



This medium article looks really good:

New asphalt in question.

Pirelli has indicated they are concerned.

Seems to affect turns 1, 9-12, 15-19.

Are the "villages" around the track ground pretty cool? A few friends and I are heading up this weekend and plan on spending some time in the Biergarten. Any TVs to watch football around?

not sure the DTS crowd would like that as it seems most of them just watch for the drama

Yep, I was started on F1 from season 1 of DTS. I watched season 2 and liked it just because I wasn't as deep with content. But since really watching as much as possible starting with the 2020 season I didn't really enjoy season 3 of DTS.

Anyone in the Austin area have any 3-day parking passes for sale?

It started a lot of fans. My parents started to care because of it. I think S1 and S2 were good tho, Season 1 was so well done and definitely can make anyone an F1 fan. Were they drama focused? A little, but it wasn't bad. Season 3 was just a joke. The moment I saw that fake Sainz/Lando rivalry I knew the show lost its purpose.
