I heard they was gonna run in Nashville, I got my hopes up for some air off the hills and some cars lost down potholes.

But of course they prettied up a little bit of the tourist areas and just did that.

They wanna punch up the ratings they need to get less formal. GTA the whole thing up. Don't close the streets or warn the civilians.

Indianapolis was too fast and hot that one year, one of the (two) tire manufactures disqualified their tires (and teams). So not even half the field ran the race. The Indy 500 course has a half-mile straightaway which allowed the F1 cars to build up unprecedented speed - all in hot midwestern summer heat.

Seems the diligence on local weather is not so good with these folks...

Yeah, that was absurd too.

Austin turn one uphill is pretty cool, I like driving on that track.

Oh, I can see that. Don't get me wrong, it must be a blast. But, for F1 cars specifically, it doesn't lend itself to great action.
