How was day one?

Day one was a blast. COTA is a pretty awesome place.
Was not expecting everything to be so convenient. Right by turn 15 is just a huge area with stores, food, games, fan zone stuff, amphitheater. You don’t have to walk to a different section of the track to get anything if you don’t want.
Cars were incredible obviously. Mrs Iwy actually thought they looked smaller in person than on TV. Should be fun to see how loud they are when they are all bunched up going full throttle. Audi has a distinctly different sound than every other car on the track, was definitely louder than the others.
We made a couple mistakes. Forgot sunscreen at the air bnb and forgot my hat in the car. So I got cooked a bit. The even bigger mistake was going out Thursday night when we got in town
Going out in Austin last night made for a really exhausting day.
Concert was a disaster with the crowd so we are skipping those and just going out on the town. We walked like a mile to get to the concert last night only to find like 100k people in line and we thought we were getting there early. It was not going to be fun leaving if we stayed. I’d actually like to see Post Malone but not enough to be fighting a crowd at midnight.
On our way for day two and probably the lightest day of the three. Going to watch the Porsche race and qualifying and just relax/have fun in between.
I’ll post some pictures tonight or tomorrow.
Forgot my AirPods so I didn’t hear any of the broadcast but is there a reason Williams is sucking especially bad this week? Typical that the week I go they suck harder than usual. But if P1 and P2 are any indication it looks like we have four teams capable of winning so it should be a good race.

Great update
Wiliams has handling issues and they have pretty much given up on 26.
It’s all about 27- James Vowles real quote- forget about those 26 quotes
Did you catch the historic race this morning?

Good info on the Audi sounding different. That was always interesting to me seeing them in person hearing that they don’t all sound the same.
I liked sitting in turn 11 to hear them pointing away from me Wide Open Throttle going down the straight to 12 to get a good listen to them.

Maybe you should see a doctor when you get back home.
J/K Man I'd love to see a GP at COTA but as I get older I'm less motivated to plan a trip like this. The only time I've seen an F1 race in person was the USGP when it was at Indy. This was back in the V10 era so I suspect the current cars can't match that aural experience.

That new building has certainly ruined the view going into Turn 1.

I think years ago you commented about Sauber (maybeToro Rosso) that had a distinct sound.

Torro Rosso sounded great for whatever reason in 2018.
Ferrari too.

Finished watching. Seems to have happened more this year where the last run doesn't amount to much.
Ferrari ghosting Q3 like normal.

That's surprising at COTA. They usually show up to play there.
