I'm absolutely fascinated with the level of temporary construction and traffic for a less than 2 hour race..... next month.
Several hundred million dollar paddock put in for a 10 year contract. All of the locals are pissed of bad.

Will it be another 40 years before they come back?
Americans care about Formula 1 about the same as they do soccer.

Don't know... supposedly there's a 10 year contract in effect. The local employee population seems like it's having a seriously rough time with it though.

That first link, MGM must be pretty unhappy about this if they gave the guy who wrote that a million dollars
I wonder how much business is down with all the construction making travel more challenging.

Time will tell how well it does. COTA is hanging on but I wonder if they'll cannibalize each other?
