@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.

I took my son to the Williams and Mercedes F1 team fan events in downtown Austin. We got to hold a tyre!

Well played @Danimal506
Enjoy the weekend. Austin would be my pick of the US races to visit if I had the opportunity.
-
@Bridger I have a friend who came to town with his wife for the race weekend. I’m just taking in the free activities this weekend. It’s really cool how much F1 has grown here. I’ll be watching from my couch. But I really want to take my son next year, he’s ready!
-
@Danimal506 That's cool you are close enough to take in some of the action. Good to get some of the vibe before enjoying the comfort of your couch.

@Bridger I used to drive by the track commuting to work every day. It’s wild how much it’s grown since my very first visit in 2017, before I even lived in Austin. I live maybe 20 minutes from the track if I take the toll road. About 45 minutes to downtown Austin where most of the events are this week.
A few years back for the holidays I got to drive a lap on the track. It was a blast! A bit scary in “slightly damp” conditions at night. But totally awesome!

@Bridger Yes! Always good music to be found.
