I think this is a great track for sim racing, but here in the real world the entire circuit just strikes me as a death trap.

Less than Monaco or Baku. And I still prefer a bit of a dangerous track with lots of action than a safe track with mostly boring races.

in less the 3 hours a third USA race will be revealed in Las Vegas, it will run on a Saturday night, 2 days after thanksgiving 2023. I know it's a big hypocrisy to be happy about vegas after just saying that the saudi street circuit needs to go.... but with only 4 hours away, i can attend it and a race on a strip is intriguing, we'll see how the layout will look

Ugh, on a Saturday night, to make things more annoying and make the whole thing feel even more 'Americanized'. Give it a few years with Liberty in control and we're only racing in the desert and on American streets anymore.

 

Will a regular race have to go to make place for Vegas?

It's the day before an NFL game, even if it was a raiders home game (which can be an away game with 18 months advance notice), The only football on saturday's is college

Axing Spa, of all places, in favour of some faceless tracks nobody has any feeling whatsoever with....yeah, that sounds like Liberty Media alright. Next up is Monza being axed in favour of a race in Oman, Silverstone being thrown out to make place for some random streets in New York and Monaco being replaced by Dubai II, Street Edition.

 

And 30 races, come on. I like F1, a lot, but for fuck's sake don't turn it into NASCAR (which I also like, but for the racing, not the usually absent tension in the championship, other than the last races) where every individual race simply doesn't feel important, because there are so many. Just like random MLB or NBA games do not feel at all important (but NFL does), since there's a shitload of them anyway.

Probably cairo street race in front of the pyramids, they are all about landmarks now (tried to pull off a manhattan street race for years)

    • has 2 wins already  Not bad for complete minnows!
    • Your most ever at a Summer Olympics was 14 golds, 20 would be a big increase even with the new sports  I’d say out of them, only costal rowing has a chance of gold, and flag football a medal if they can qualify.    Wouldn’t breaking the 14 from 1984 be a good for Italy? I’d say so. They can’t all convert after all, and you’ve been hovering in the 8-13 range for a while (although Italy has gotten better the past two)   For Canada at least, 11+ golds would be amazing, anything else would be a bonus. We won 9 in Tokyo which is our highest total ever. 
    • Personally, I'm really looking forward to Japan's performance in the World Cup. From the current situation, Japan has a very distinctive playing style. They have strong tactical ideas whether facing European teams or South American teams. However, Japan has never won a knockout match in the World Cup. As someone who has been following Asian football for a long time, I really admire Japanese football.
    • Italy didn't qualify again.    Well, now all that's left is for Germany to be eliminated again in the group stage and we'll guarantee another 4 years of "Brazil, the only five-time champion in history, nobody is bigger than Brazil, respect our history and blah blah" that we use on the internet.
    • Failing to qualify for the World Cup once can be put down to bad luck or other reasons, but missing out three times in a row must be due to an all-round gap. I feel sorry for Italy.
    • Italians can only blame themselves. Serie A has been run by foreigners more than any other Top 5 domestic league. There are zero global stars not named Donnarumma. This is the weakest Italian crop of players I can remember and it's not even close.   As for Poland, our defense did a terrible job. Unlike the much-maligned Michniewicz & Probierz who often parked the bus, Urban completely run out of BS luck since errors proved too numerous & too costly.
    • Okay, but defeats to Macedonia and Bosnia are unacceptable. Above all, let Italians start playing in Italian clubs... Look at Milan or Como...  Another think is the old and ugly stadiums - Türkiye or Poland currently have much better infrastructure than we do.
    • Problem is, that the current funding system of Italian sports - since 2018- relies on football paying the lion's share through taxes (around 70% of the sum that is redistributed). So the rest is strong until it can draw money from football, which in turn makes football weaker and less able to generate money and then who knows. 
    • I prefer our current strong sport at all and weak football than a lucky promotion and defeat at the World Cup, as in 2010 or 2014. Sinner, Brignone, or Antonelli are worth 100 times more than losers like Bastoni.
    • if tonight's humiliation means 20+ gold and 50+ total medals in 2 years time in LA, I'll take it 1 billion times    and I'd never change the emotions of the 2 Olympic weeks in Milan (and the other sites) with just another average soccer world cup
