I would love too and plan to do it at some point once SO and I can break from the kids long enough to go to Europe and see a real race. No desire for any of the US tracks at present. Indy has better racing and tracks domestically.

Like Spa, will take 6 months for the organizer to secure next year before offering refunds. Refunds will be face value of Friday night to the original ticket purchaser.
Looks like F1 gave the Thursday night pass holders a $200 voucher to the F1 store. So that is good for a hat and t-shirt.

LOL, frick them.
Tons of alternative measures aside from blocking paying customers from accessing the event.
Class action lawsuit may be appropriate

The F1 talking heads were floating an "agreement with the County" that meant they couldn't ensure clear streets so the fans couldn't stay.

Holy shite, F1 making all the wrong moves with this GP.

a former colleague of mine- african american fella who has done really well for himself and has subsequently become a huge Lewis fan flew in from Atlanta to see Friday practice , messaged me about what a sham the experience was and how the whole thing has ruined f1 for him.
Told him i would fly him out to Indy GP of Alabama at Barber in my dads plane for the Indycar race this spring to show him what a real Grand Prix is all
about.
I don’t believe he is the only one who feels like this. Big opportunity for Indycar.

The Alabama gp is is insanely reasonably priced.

It’s Vegas… there’s always a way around
The people that this was meant to attract were the first in for this event. Paid overpriced amounts to go and from jump, you fricked then.
Doesn’t bode well for that money to come back again.

You’ll see better racing and meaningful overtaking at an Indycar race , not to mention unprecedented access to world class drivers (a good portion who are better than the current crop of f1 guys) , the paddock/ teams and be surrounded by actual race fans and not clout chasers.
The indy 500 puts all other races to shame

I hope all the newbies feel cheated. Ready for them to flee and we can return to race fans only and reasonable prices.

the problem with f1 is that it will always attract the clout chasing types that are there for the wrong reason.

F1 has already managed to turn off everyone involved in the Las Vegas GP - Locals upset - Paying fans disrespected - TV audience exhausted - Purists hate it - Drivers bothered - Safety concerns overlooked - Ferrari pissed It’s only year 1 but Vegas might already be doomed.
Really wonder if this thing ends up 1 and done.

By your count the most they can win over is 30k people though.
That would triple a normal Indy car race attendance though.

lol ok…cope harder.. your so called pinnacle of motorsport is squandering the 3 years of momentum it has accrued in this nation in real time
Say what you want about Indycar , but they would have handled this situation exponentially better

Maybe I will start shite posting in the Indy thread about how F1 compares to Indy.
I'll start with track times, follow up with how FIA stripped Indy of world championship points, then finish with how every top Indy driver is trying to get to F1 and only washed up F1 drivers end up in Indy due to lack of options.
Only Indy race I have seen to date, New Orleans, 2015. Want me to rundown what a great experience that was?

so your main argument is over something that happened almost 60 years ago?

get back to me when F1 guys have the balls to run trimmed out at at 242 mph into turn 1
Indycars are desgined for both ovals and road courses , thus are required to have more robust construction to absorb exponentially more Gs than the worst crash in F1. Of course they arent going to be as fast on road courses.

Scott Dixon? Scott Mclaughlin? Will Power ? Newgarden?? Lets talk about how a multi podium F1 driver who was the star of DTS can’t even win a race in Indycar and now has to take a seat on a backmarker team to stay in the series
Or how Kevin Magnusson was uncompetitive during his indycar stint? Or how Ferrari’s top jr driver can’t even podium in 2 seasons with decent equipment?

That can at least be blamed on poor weather, not from pricing out a fanbase and failing to conduct proper due diligence in track construction. I’d love to see Indycar return to NOLA motorsports park , I’d be the first person to buy tickets

Bro, I have no problem with Indy or what is has or will do. I try to watch most weekends when it is on.
I am mocking your little man syndrome when it comes to F1 being popular. Let it go, F1 popularity will retreat in a few years and there won't even be threads for you to snivel in.
Posted on 11/17/23 at 8:36 pm to SkiUtah420
Man, where did f1 hurt you? Show me on the doll.
Posted on 11/17/23 at 8:40 pm to horsesandbulls
I just hope that F1 regains some intelligence and resets the session start times next year. This race is horribly times. I know they are trying to hit the euro markets, hopefully they fail on timing and we can actually get a semi-decent race next year.
