I watched a video of San Luis GT race out of curiosity; it is an absolutely stunning scenery for a track but the actual layout with all these colored walls/curbs and tarmac run-off looks just like Valencia.

It's far from looking as good as a RedBull Ring for example.

Really don't understand the grading sometimes.


Maybe they can't get the grade 1, because they don't have a place for those stupid giant ass motorhomes, pit garages or state of the art buildings that no one gives a fuck about.


Yeah, fuck the stuff that actually allows them to operate the sport as this level. Just FYI, those motorhomes keep the sponsors money flowing, which is what makes the sport go around.


If the motorhomes are what keep the sponsors money flowing, then the whole series is completely fucked up.

You understand that sponsors require hospitality right? And the head of Vodafone, who is throwing a hundred million at McLaren, isn't going to be satisfied by a tent in a field, right?

Money makes motorsport go around. It isn't fucked - it's just how it works.

It could be fairly close for me to go by land. That's fine by me!

The stroy says that there's no circuit in Mar del Plata. But there is:

It will be a street circuit, that Mar del Plata circuit is not used even by the TC or TC 2000
