Open-wheel ~ Formula 1, IndyCar, Formula E

Here we go....

I'm strictly open-wheel myself. What F1 races have you attended? I've been to the U.S. Grands Prix in Phoenix (back when they were the Iceberg GP), all of them in Indianapolis, multi Canadian Grands Prix, multi British Grands Prix, German GP at Hockenheim.

I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but the FE inaugural series opener is this weekend in Beijing. It will be shown on Fox Sports.

I am strictly open wheel too. I liked cart before they destroyed themselves. My Mom took me to my 1st race when I was a little girl, Monaco. You never get over Monaco. It is simply the most demanding course and amazing skills to run that circuit, wish it were wider. LOL Once the F1 bug bites you it is for life.

F1 because they turn left and right, chicanes, start from the dead stop, and race in the RAIN or Monsoon. {#emotions_dlg.lol}

Long time F1 fan. One of my earlier memories was going with my family to Watkins Glen USGP in the early 1970s. Hope to attend Austin GP in the next few yrs and the NY-NJ GP (if it ever materializes). My dream is Monaco!

F1Wild- Try Monza. You'd adore it. (I grew up in Europe, Dad was military.) I promise the amount of red in Monza is unbelievable and you know how much red you see at the races in general.

Who ever has Monaco on the list. go for the week take in the whole spectacle. You'll love it. You never forget your 1st Monaco, mine was so long ago, Andretti and Fittipaldi were racing, Mario and Emerson. Wow, did I just date myself. Lol

Myself I want to go to the Canadian. I am not sure of any others right now.

I followed Schumacher since his bad boy days with Benetton, when he "might have" acted in a less than sportsmanship like manner. LOL
