The 2019 "Only The Best" New Arkhangelsk United States Grand Prix

#1

Post by XcraigX »

America. It's been a wild ride. Here's the very short versions:





Ok, that was not exactly the whole story. But if you have a few hours, there is a nice summary over the years of American history at this link:

The GP started at the streets of Watkins Glen in Upstate NY, then on a purpose-built track in the same town, then expanded to a US GP West at Long Beach. Once the Glen ended, we've had GPs in Detroit, Las Vegas, Dallas, Phoenix, Indianapolis, and finally Austin Texas.

There are others who are better at these threads than I. So have at it boys! Go!

You missed the last part of the esses (current T9), before the fast sweeper. That out of sync and rhythm-destroying corner deserves a very special kind of nuke.

Yup. Did no research, just listed all I could from memory. The races from those locals seem more like a footnote today.
