I really hate street courses and this one is truly pretty boring; makes Monaco look like a real road course. No places to pass and that long straight is way too long (marketing gimmick). I was hoping that now that F1 is owned by a US company, they would build a real home track that's not named COTA. Or even better, redesign some of the classic tracks for today's F1 cars; but this probably won't happen either. With F1 popularity high now w/ new fans from Netflix, someone please build something!
On the other hand, going to the Montreal GP is incredible. A downtown circuit that's also a dedicated park/race track. Easy to get to since the subway drops you off right in front; no traffic nightmares of Austin and eventually Vegas. And with no 9/11 security restrictions, you can bring in 5 cases of beer and all the food you want. Hopefully one day in my life, the US will have just as good of an F1 show.
