Cadillac F1 entry

I've bascially been addicted to F1 Drive to Survive so suddenly I care about F1.

I wonder who the drivers are going to be.
 
I really like the color theme and Cadillac style logo-ing they did on this.
I hope lego makes this car next year.

Unfortunately, that phenomenon has priced people like me out of the market for tickets. I'm lucky enough to live in Austin, so prior to the recent frenzy, I had gone every year.

Now my $300 seats are $1,500. And its sold out, so the entire 10 square mile property is shoulder-to-shoulder crowded, and it takes half a day to leave after the race. So I no longer attend.

Utter and complete insanity.

But if they still sounded like they did in 2012 with the NA V8, I'd still be tempted. :)

2026 is supposed to improve the sound, but I believe they'll still be running turbo V6s. Its such a tiny fraction of what they used to be its a tragedy.

I hear you on the sound of F1 today. But the racing is quite exciting in recent years.
 
F1 is doubtlessly motorsports at the highest level.

I just think an IMSA race at 1/10 the price would be just as much fun to watch.

COTA totally sabotages their minor events. GT World Challenge is racing here next month, and they're shutting down all the good seating and limiting access to only the crappiest stands on the property.

They do the same idiotic thing for everything except F1, NASCAR and MotoGP. They destroy the good, cheap races to save the price of a couple of security guards. Its so sad............

IMSA realized this and stopped coming here after 2 or 3 races. :(

I attended f1 at cota for seven years straight. Motogp for five. Dozens of other minor things like the lonestar le mans and gt world challenge.

Every year it got harder and harder. Costs going up, seating getting worse, parking terrible. I’ve completely stopped going. I was spending thousands of dollars a year there for me and my family only to drop it to zero. Because of work I get invited into the paddock for Mercedes and McLaren, and I still don’t go even if the tickets are free because it’s just such a hassle.
