Time again for our one and only US Grand Prix. There are some here that don't like the track, but after I visited it in person, I love it! Regardless of your feelings, where do think the cars stand this year? Are they going to go faster? Or are they going to obliterate the lap record for years to come? Get your guess in at the link below!

Tom have apparently mistaken this race for the Atlantis GP.
I think you have apparently mistaken this topic for a different one. :haha:
Apparently I have.

Well this is awkward.

Penis.
Hmmm... All eyes on the weather. Presumably they'll be slightly slower than they would be, even if it's dry, without as much chance to dial in their setups on Friday with the rain.

As long as @John doesn't win, it's all good :P.

Accuweather says it will probably rain at around 1pm local time... that may be somewhere between P3 and Q1

I got a feeling that the pole lap will end up somewhere between our times. COULD DO WITH SOME LIGHT RAIN NOW.
