Anyone ever done just the general admission to COTA? Wondering what that’s like, would just be driving over on race day to take it in


My wife and I did it in 2018 and had a good time and then went back last year with our 2 year old and it was good.
Turns 11 and 9 I think were perfectly fine to sit on the side of a hill and experience it all in person.

Buxton has been talking a lot with his hot takes...

He thinks Max goes to AT for the Honda Engines, along with Newey

Sainz goes to Sauber bc Merc calls up Antonelli

Ive done it a few times, but it is getting too crowded to be a good deal anymore. unless you plan to get there really early and stake out a spot. they have also added some grandstands to places that were the best GA views in past years.

The most logical scenario seems like both guys are still at Red Bull next year where they deliver one more championship season then join Yuki at Aston Martin in 2026 provided they can get out of their contracts. I'm assuming that the contract Newey signed with RB last year is for beyond 2026.

Agree... Said that when all the Horndog stuff was going down. Would be stupid for Max to walk away from his 4th and 5th championships.

I think RB needs to get rid of Checo, sign Sainz, who can get familiar with RB in 25 and then be the number one in 26 if Max leaves.

If Checo's seat is open, Sainz makes so much sense, pretty much assures RB the Constructors and give Sainz a quality ride before most likely going to Audi in '26. If Max leaves in 26, gives them first crack at a top driver.

Sargeant binned it in P1. Again no spare chassis for Williams.

Looked like he got in the grass and just stayed on the throttle. He's going to be killing it on iRacing pretty soon.

I forgot about that. That one was Mazespin approved. Today wasn't as bad I guess.

I do like the idea of Logan just becoming a Friday driver. Get the weekend off to walk around Tokyo looking for some Japanese girls to pillow with.

That's a really weird corner to consistently lose it in.

But I don't really care because Liberty told us Andretti would embarrass the sport and implied that Williams would not.

Well FP2 was a total bust. Three cars set hot laps at the end on softs, and two cars set hot laps on inters when the track was wetter. That's it.

Two more cars set lap times on softs, but they weren't really hot laps (they were slower than the times set on inters).

Six additional cars got on track but didn't set a time.

Seven cars never left the garage.

Sounds like a shitshow... I woke up this morning and saw neither RB set a time and was wondering what the hell was going on.

It wasn't really raining like crazy or anything just damp and the teams didn't deem it necessary to get out.

Didn't see any highlight from last night, but looks like there wasn't much action. Anyone know if it is suppose to rain for the race?

Same, I thought they fricked up their upgrade package and were stuck in the garage.

But nah, everyone was just like me during freshman year of college: “It’s raining, I guess there’s no class today.”
