I guess with the, didn't get a lot of love comment...if you enjoy doing it, writing about what you're watching, then that's what's important and probably means it's written better for it, you know?

As for the car racing, I don't watch any of the American stuff despite it all being shown here live. I watch some NFL though, I used to play. I don't miss the F1 races when they're on though, love it. Interestingly, there's three F1 races in America, all sellout's and one of them happens to have the highest ticket prices by a long margin out of any of the other 23 races. Seems like someone likes it.

I think it's only in the past five years or so that those races started being held in the US. I know that they just had the first one in Vegas a bit ago. Detroit used to have a grand prix in the downtown area, but I am not sure they still do.

They held the first F1 championship race in America in 1959...I missed that one because I wasn't born. The first Las Vegas F1 race was held in 1981. Tom Sneva won that one in a March-Ford. Mario Andretti was second...can't recall third...John someone. Been racing in the States for a long time. F1 is owned by Liberty Media...Americans.

Did they stop for a while? I swear they were hyping up this recent race in Vegas like it was the first time they had ever held it there.

First time since 1984. They've been racing in COTA for years though. circuit of the Americas. A long history of F1 in America.

Okay, that's probably why it was such a big deal then.

Yeah, I'm not into the Las Vegas race and didn't really like all the sparkles they added to the "spectacle", I'm into the racing not DJ's, rap stars and other such people with an over-inflated sense of themselves...AI just want to watch car racing. I prefer the race at COTA.

I saw there were a lot of A list stars attending the race when they had it. That's pretty typical for the US though. It's always about how it looks 😜

Yeah, exactly. I get it, the commercial aspect, but it was rather...over the top.
