Why doesn't a place like COTA get F2/F3? It's not like they don't travel some.

Just seems like COTA would be a good drivers skill course
They had F4 and W Series back in 2021when I went.PJYoung said:They have had the American version before. Or maybe that was F4. Not sure.SydB92 said:

It's the travel costs. F3 was supposed to be here in 2021 but they canceled a month before because it became too costly. I was told directly from an F3 driver that it's too expensive to come and race in Austin. The one I've been curious about is F1 Academy because their calendar is very weird and only has 2 races in Europe, I am assuming they don't have to pay to be in the F1 bill but just wondering about their logistics.
W Series did race at COTA in 2021 but they were also bleeding money and we all know how that ended lol.

I figured it was cost related but it can't be cheap to fly to Australia. I wonder if the Aussies subsidize to get f2/f3 there.
So they do Asia right before (and after), I wonder if the cost of shipping is cheaper than Europe to America.
F2 quali right now had Miyata's engine die in the tunnel and Hadjar barely missed him. Once I find a clip ill post but that was scary

That had major incident written all over that. Hadjar's car would have been bouncing off of both walls after the collision.
Insane reaction time from Hadjar, especially with a black car in the dark on transition into the tunnel.
Talk about some reflexes. wow.
Holy crap. I almost needed to change my shorts just from watching that.
In typical F2 fashion they just announced penalties (a good 5 hours later) and Ollie got hit with 3 place grid penalty. IMO his championship is fully over unless the second half of the season starting in Barcelona turns around big time. Such a strange year for F2 and the FIA being late with penalties does not help at all. It's a circus this time
Is it same set of stewards for F1? Wonder is there is forced pause in reviews to focus on F1

Not even Haas
I like that for Sainz and Williams. I think they both can benefit. Albon has done decently well.
At least Haas has enough chassisGladiator 96 said:

Seems like Williams is ripe for a billionaire investor to come in and scoop a large stake. Would they be open to it? They need a massive transformation.
I would hope the venture capital firm that owns them has the money to properly invest now that Vowels is in charge and knows that is needed to be successful.
Only way this is real is if Newey goes, too.

And zero points to show for it….
Lol. Oops. So not that well. I guess I just want him to do well.
Another Williams era like when they had Massa in 2014-2016 when he scored podiums would be sweet. I'd rather see Williams do well over Alpine/Kick Sauber/Haas
European Season truly hates Checo

I'm fine with making it hard for Red Bull to score some more points
This time they really gotta be worried about the WCC. McLaren and Ferrari are keeping up
Sainz incoming to RB if Checo keeps this up.
Ferrari
Monaco curse over tomorrow...third time's gonna be the charm. LFG Charles
the Haas got disqualified, starting from the back
So Logan should have gotten into Q2.
Does RB revert to last years car?

All settled in for a bottom 3 race of the season!
