I went to the inaugural F1 race in Austin at COTA, and it is an incredible facility. It will blow your mind the venue, from the buildings, the food trucks to the easy accessibility to the race. The city itself is hopping full blast. The restaurants are great and if you like to eat, there is something about Texas size portions that will fill your belly. check out Rainey st area for nightlife.
Yeah I’m a big F1 guy...Montreal is a great event but looking to switch it up a bit. If the Miami GP actually ends up happening I would be over the moon. What a week that would be.
Just came back from the montreal F1 and although it's fun and love the European flavor of the city, they really bottle things up. Years ago we were able to stick out heads right on the fence when the cars went by, your guts would shake. Every year since about 2003, they started to put more fences and barricades so you can't get up close. Those years we went from about 1989 to 2007 were the best years. Crazy engines. You couldn't watch a race up close without ear plugs, no way. This year I was invited for the Friday session in the Ferrari paddock and the cars don't generate that ear piercing sound like the years before. I was up close and did not need ear plugs. The cars have really lost their emotion. Oh well. But Austin is a special event no doubt.
Getting in and out of the facility especially on race day was a nightmare. Inches away from a human crush at any time. Just because of the way they channel and force the crowds to flow.
Austin is nothing like that. You can get a parking pass that literally will bring within 5 minutes of walking to your seats. You can drive up to the venue. Depending on where your seats are, you can get the corresponding parking pass. We sat in the hairpin the first year. See.....not bad info from a troll!
If he's in Kanata, probably best place (as an out of towner myself, and going off memory) would be to hit up one of the spots in the Kanata Centrum (Bierhaus, Three Brewers). Maybe not exactly a pub, but decent beer, food and TVs.
PEI... If you're not looking for the big city experience... And want to avoid the classic American gun violence.
Belgium
Seemed to me like France did an awful lot of time wasting in the last 10 minutes or so though.
Go Croatia now.
I heard this too. Also Memphis.
My 7yr old loves Greta, but I figured he was too small to handle Bluesfest crowds, and judging by the pictures of the crowd for the Foo Fighters, I think I was right.
