    Starting in 1967, I got my sister and her boyfriend to take me for my first Watkins Glen Grand Prix.

    For many years it was the only one in the US, a beautiful area of mountains.

    Has Formula 1 ever raced at Watkins Glen?
    Easily the most successful installment of the United States Grand Prix came at Watkins Glen in upstate New York, that was up until the 2022 USGP at COTA which set record-breaking attendance. The race was an immediate success, with over 60,000 fans showing up to the first United States Grand Prix held there in 1961.

    More Vegas Road Bumps

This F1 race has been a joke from the start!

    USA should dump Miami and Vegas and stick with one event in Austin. 3 F1 events is ridiculous!
    Ferrari is asking for millions back related to Sainz manhole incident.
    Hotel room rates were up 300% across the board for the event .
    Team hoodies were priced @ $250 and ball caps @ $100?
    And F1 is reporting record level profits for the event?

    Not a technical track but simple track layouts lead to tight racing. I imagine the drivers don't like it but at least it's not another "follow the leader" race track.

    I'd still like to see fewer races, some where around 18-16 total.
    Monaco has to be the SUPREME "follow the leader" event in the series!
