Cars sound like crap and the racing is  more boring than even in the "procession" days, if that is possible.

We were there and the time limited Ferrari Challenge was disaster with the crashes and repairs to the barrier maybe they got 1 racing lap. I am not sure because there was a crash on lap 1 then there was a crash in turn 3 (the S's in front of us.

This hard for me to say, the F1 cars sound better on TV than they do live and they don't sound any good either place.

People were leaving half during the race.

At least I got to talk to some fans of F1. Ferrari of Denver were handing out FREE Ferrari flags in the Parking lot N.

We stayed at New Braunsfel so we  drove more than 60 miles to the track ( at least part of the drive was on a toll road with an 85MPH limit.

I had budgeted $4 a gallon for gas, so it was a win with Shell reg at $2.69.

It was ok, but I don't think we will be back.

Rick, I was an hour away from Austin this past weekend and I still could't convince myself to get up early and make the 60 min drive out there.

If there was only a vintage F1 support race...hmm...

Hey Gang, 

It's F1-eve-eve and I'm wondering about what the future holds for F1. COTA is awesome but the grid is only 18 cars. Bernie warns that the grid could be even smaller for 2015, if something doesn't change! He also goes on to slam the 2014 power plant, and I have to agree. It is so freekin' complex that random errors are affecting the championships. And of course, the cars now sound like ricers. Now we have speed limiters activated remotely by Race Control! That is SO stupid. Perhaps Whiting will realize that when momentum puts some front wing up the ass of the remotely emasculated leading car!

Yes, I still watch F1 but I no longer get up at 6:00am, excited to watch. And if I am 100% truthful, I fast forward through the boring bits and endless stream of commercials. The excitement is gone - and its not Mercedes or Ferrari's fault. Its like F1 has gone politically correct. Gag.
