@louisbosco @mclaincausey please make time in your itinerary for the Toyota museum in Nagoya to check out the shuttle looms and the car making machines and robots.
It was a highlight of my last Japan trip.
Nb. they are closed on Monday.
-
@Bridger honestly, makes perfect sense for both of them. lol
-
@Bridger damnit. Yeah that was on the radar for sure. The problem is traveling with a wife and kid and having a pretty aggressive itinerary. May be impossible but I love Toyota and consider them the greatest manufacturer on the planet.
-
@mclaincausey I don't know how old your kid is, but I think the whole family will enjoy it. It is very interactive with lots of buttons to push. I would miss Friday practice for this
-
We are only doing race day! The rail museum looks rad too.
Think it, be it.
-
The rail museum is rad (and I work in rail and have worked with Japanese shinkansen operators), but the a Toyota museum is next level.
-
@mclaincausey not sure if you're aware but the ticket prices are for all 3 days.. also friday is free seating.
was just looking at 2027 prices and swore it's gone up about $150 since 2 years ago

@louisbosco yup and it’ll still be cheaper than our CDMX single days were

You can thank Brad Pitt, Netflix and Liberty Media for that. Also impacts the costs for hotels. There have been massive increases in accommodation costs for Silverstone.
