Thanks! Hopefully the other place sells and we can do a bit of transfer

So, who is excited for the new format?

Some quali to watch on Friday. A little sprint on Saturday, then the main event on Sunday.

I think the smart minds in the F1 teams will find ways to manipulate and make it interesting with all the park fer mey rules in place from Friday. 

Very interesting, 60 minutes set up, quali then a warm up, then a sprint, then the race. On a track where teams have a lot of data this is great to even it out. 

And yes, Norris Pole would be grand.

It it looking pretty dry.. Maybe rain on Friday so that FP1 is no help at all..

I am not expecting any excitement from the sprint race, will be a bit of a procession.
Will be happy if proven wrong but looking at the sprint races in WSBK, they are too short to be meaningful. Like an extended qualifying session of sorts.

Lets hope it is as fun as the Baku sprint race. That oke that dresses weird and always bitching and is vegan, his name escapes me now, went from 2nd to last and it was exciting.

Steven has a valid point.

For a minute there I was wondering "Baku, sprint race, huh...."
Should've added vegan and it would have been easier to catch.............

Start at $80 000 They made a custom one for Lando when he joined Mclaren. Other less custom ones owned by celebrerties have gone for a lot more than $500k.

[Pure Savage]

Here is the article, I was out by $80 000, its actually $580k. 

The lower figures are useless journalist that type Richard Mille watch into google and take the first value that pops up.
