Should be a great race. Havent been to that type of race in quite some time. Lime Rock was the last race I went to back in the mid 2000s.

Too costly to go to the west coast but Id love to go to Watkins Glen, NY as i saw some F1 races when i was a kid up there and loved it. Its a great course with a lot of history.

Id love to go to Le Mans and be able to be in the pit area, but honestly tv does a great job with that race.

Le Mans WOULD be amazing. Not sure if that would be my absolute favorite I could possibly do or not though. Once upon a time Monaco would have been, but with the "racing" in F1 the last few years, I wouldn't even go if I were offered free tickets anymore.

Id still like to see the race in Monaco in person but overall the design of the course really makes for a crappy race.

I also want to get to Circuit of the America's at some point for something. A D&D friend of mine is going there later this year for MotoGP. I had seriously considered going there last year for the F1 race, but it was just TOOOOO expensive. But I might try to get there next year for the IndyCar race. Be much more affordable, and far more likely to have racing.

COTA is a great course and Id love to see a race there, preferably F1. Laguna Seca is another favorite of mine and would also love to see Monza one of the older courses in F1.

We had considered Laguna Seca this year. Main strike against it is the fact that what makes it AMAZING for driving, is what makes it less amazing for spectators. The elevation change makes it so that you can't really see MOST of the track.
