http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/287118/...sell-out-crowd/ The COTA site says they are sold out. I genuinely hope so. Financially it will be unwise for me to go until my youngest is in school, and I do not trust Bernie. He's shown no love for the US. I think he wants to prove F1 doesn't need it. 3 years, just please last 3 years. |

One race in a nation of 350 million, it should (on paper) be a no brainer... the key will be to make it attractive to the US motorsport fans who are not used to the F1 way of things... it needs to be a great race venue... we will see soon enough. |

I think the USA prefers home grown sports, ones that only USA citizens compete in mostly so that they can say they are world champions in that sport. |

lI was obviously being very glib when I made that comment, but you will find that all those three sports are played internationally, even here in Uruguay where I live there is a big reputation for Rugby and obviously the game played with feet and balls called football. |
