Happy Friday and Happy Thanksgiving!

We trust all of our US friends are enjoying some time with family this weekend and once you’re all stuffed with food - we highly recommend watching the first proper test drive of Gordon Murray Automotive’s T.50 fan car 🫨

Honestly there’s not much more we’d like to say other than get ready for audio bliss. The T.50 isn’t just about the epic fan system but it’s also a V12 monster that screams up the revs. Click here to take in the action and revel in one of the greatest things ever built…

Maybe we were wrong about Vegas 😅

Alright……. It’s fair to say that the inaugural Las Vegas GP got off to a rocky start……..

And it’s also fair to say that the reaction by the FIA wasn’t any better….

But damn was that ever a good race in Las Vegas last weekend. For us on the east coast that was a 1am start time and it was worth every lap. So much drama, excitement and proper racing action at every moment. It turns out the circuit might be low grip but it’s predictable passing zones with long straightaways build the suspense like waiting for a goal in soccer - and that’s what the fans want to feel (and if live sports are the future of revenue, then we’ve got a winner on our hands..)

So there’s the words and you better believe we’re eating them. The race was awesome and it was wrong to judge so soon - but we stand by our belief that those driver intros are just awful 😂

We’re now entering the final GP weekend of the season. Click here to catch up on FP1 and click here to catch up on FP2!

Next race: Sunday, November 26th @ 8am EST (Abu Dhabi GP)

The Verdict on Vegas

Aside from Andretti Global, the biggest talking point this year has been the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The interwebs were awash with negative stories in the lead up to the race over high ticket prices, pissed-off locals and exorbitant hotel rates. Post-race? Not so much.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix, despite all the hype and off-track entertainment is first and foremost a motor race and as a motor race it succeeded admirably. While many were quick to judge after the debacle that was FP1, the race itself was highly entertaining. Even winner Max Verstappen had changed his tune.

While there are areas that will need improvement (schedule timetable, being more inclusive of locals, quicker set-up, and tear down, etc.), overall, the race weekend went exceptionally well, leading many to wonder if Vegas is set to replace Monaco as the race where F1 business gets done. Others, including myself, wonder how this might impact the Miami Grand Prix with its lackluster on-track product.

I have always maintained that the race will remain on the calendar if casinos are making money, and by all indications they did. If the casinos and the State are on board, I think Vegas will remain on the schedule for as long as they are happy. Whether Miami will be a viable race in the years to come is a question that will only be answered in time.
