What is the speed like in person? Seems like the TV makes them look slower than real life.

I really enjoyed turn 11 last time. The race is so short relative to the rest of the day, enjoy the day vs trying to save the best spot all day.

This track looks exhausting. One turn after another.

What sus 14 said. I am trying for turn 1 tomorrow, but only because I think it might be a few years before I come back.

If turn 1 doesn't work out I am off to turn 11 or so.

Great shootout at the end… can’t wait for tomorrow.

Sad I’m not there.

And Danica is terrible interviewing post-race.

Im jealous of everyone that made it.

I really enjoyed the crowd cheers when Checo took provisional pole.

The shootout at the end was worth waiting for. It was fun. Just finished a $20 corn dog in favor of The Tigers! Now, off to get in queue for Billy Joel.

They’re doing over 3 miles in a minute thirty and change? You think they aren’t fast?

Definitely fast. Somehow the camera angles on the broadcast don’t accurately capture the speed to me. Just an observation.

Is it Silverstone that has the uphill just past the start / finish line? The behind cars camera angle at that spot seems to be the only one that accurately shows the speed to me. Could be a different track.

Properly fast. No other race series come within 10 seconds on F1 on this track.

Indy is 12 seconds off the pace and they ignore track limits.

GT3, which is maybe the closest thing to a road car you will find, in day to day, laps almost 30 seconds slower.

Properly fast.

F1 loves doing 100% panning shots. They rarely ever have a stationary camera that shows their speed. It's mind boggling why the don't have at least one stationary camera for each race.

That is the angle I’m talking about. Great shot.

Anyway, apologies for the thread drift

Danny Ric had the time of his fricking life in the car, happy he was able to drive it, and thrilled Zac gave him the chance to subvert his idols car. I mean I know the bet with Cyril, but Zac is legit making this shite happen.

The crowd was incredibly loud in the TV clips, what was it like in person?
