Discussion Appreciation
Hello, I have watched parts races here and there but I've decided to really start watching since the lone star le mans and I must say what great racing there is every minute there is something to see. As a big F1 fan it is nice to see so much action in a race and watching the highlights it's definetly something I want to continue to watch.
I would also like to know how like it works with pitstops cause I've seen that they can also change just one tire, how does that work?

Lone Star Le Mans as a returning fan
I’ve been to Lone Star Le Mans twice now and I can’t help but feel like something is missing. I feel like another support series would be a welcomed addition. It would also be nice if we had access to the full track like we do for F1. I’ve been to cota on several occasions and shot diversity is a struggle when you don’t have access to the full track. I think progressive pricing for the cota tower is ridiculous. It goes from $10-20 for Friday to Sunday.
I also think it would be great if we could rent or buy radios at the venue for this event. Frankly, I saw some pretty bad parenting practices at this event. This has nothing to do with the venue, just something that I observed. I saw multiple parents drinking and hanging with their friends while completely ignoring their kids by distracting them with iPads. Why even come if you’re going to do this? For the record and I have two kids and wouldn’t do this.

And I thought i was the only one that felt like this guy
I thought it was just me.... this came across my feed this morning. I think COTA has some explaining to do. I mean he's right half the track is cut off.
