Funny how no one cared about COVID lockdowns in 2020 and 2021...it's only now that lockdowns are seen as inhumane and unnecessary.

Yeah, and there is a dedicated forum to discuss that on TexAgs. Please keep that discussion there, or politics, or general, or wherever else fits.


Your wool is showing…

Unfortunately we are stuck with possibly some boring races to end the season for the next few years…

Brazil closing the season was always a banger. They just dont have the pockets Abu Dhabi has

Random F1 adjacent question:


Heineken has paid a boatload of money to advertise their 0.0 beer at every F1 race. Has anyone ever tried it? I mean I personally can't think of a reason to drink regular Heineken let alone an alcohol free version of it.

The idea is that it will get Heineken drinkers or alcoholics to want a Heineken. It's not really to advertise their 0.0 product.

Philip Morris wasn't paying a bunch of money because he wanted Ferrari to 'Win Now'. Nor was BAT paying McLaren for people to think about 'A Better Tomorrow'.

To the actual question, nope.

I thought it also had something to do with being able to sponsor in places where alcohol advertising is banned? Similar to the shell companies Marlboro set up to advertise.

That's what I was thinking. Like Bahrain, Saudi, and UAE.

I always liked Suzuka as the the closer. Adelaide wasn't bad either.

China was a fun race, and Shanghai is a helluva good time. Great party city.

A few photos from 2010 - Jensen Button won. I only brought a pocket camera because it was raining.

Just giving you some crap because you're triggered by a political post that is completely relevant to the conversation.

You easily could have ignored it but had to say something, hence the sheep comment.

I will try and honor wishes of avoiding politics but it's probably obvious why I stated what I did. Not based on the quality of the race etc but it's a country that just shouldn't get anything anymore.

Im getting to attend the race in Austin this year, through a vendor. I had to choose between Saturday and Sunday, and ended up choosing Saturday.

Im pumped now. Get to be here for the Sprint race, but watch the Grand Prix on TV. Best of both worlds in my book.

Definitely helps Friday as that will have quali now, but even this year I felt like the Friday crowd was bigger than years before. Hoping for a good 2023

USGP 3 Day GA starts at $475. Hearing every grandstand is going up at least 22%. Trying to get the new prices from PSLs. Hospitality has gone up as well.

Well hot damn, USGP tickets go on sale next week. Presale begins Tuesday. They must want an early sell out to show the bosses lol.

CMC Motorsports has a good sale going on, and you can stack up that coupon code from F1 Twins (some influencers lol) on top of it. That Alfa jersey was over $200 at COTA just 6 weeks ago!

Iirc, he had recently retired from being a team principle in rally car, the Dorilton folks convinced him to come out of retirement to do take the job.
