Perhaps they should have considered a US fan could combine booking a flight, hotel and tickets to an overseas race cheaper than the Vegas GP ticket alone?

    I've commented and acted on this numerous times. Going to Silverstone and Suzuka the last few years has been cheaper overall than Miami or Vegas (and honestly gave COTA a run for its money) and we're phenomenal experiences.

    Nevermind Mexico City which was significantly cheaper and significantly better than any of the US ones as a patron.

    I’m a midwesterner and I’ve been seriously looking at Spain or silverstone, Mexico is very tempting as well but last I looked it was more expensive than the European races

    That's worse than I thought, I was pricing against somewhere like Belgium or Hungary lol. I'd rather go to Silverstone than Vegas or Miami any day.
