MODERATORS
I'm tried of street circuits, bros.
Do I want a race in my city? No (I think a semi-urban race is not interesting at all, I prefer circuits). Will I try to go to one race? Yes. I mean, if they insist in hosting the race here, why not?
Btw: same political party that gave us the memorable “European GP” in Valencia. I think that says a lot, so I don’t need to say anything else.
Meh track gets replaced by meh-er track
Right after we finally fixed the track to not be that much of a snoozefest, we lose it for another damn street curcuit.
Interesting. So what gets dropped to make room for it on the calendar?
Probably Barcelona, their contract runs out in 2026. There's a possibility for them to run at the same time tho, like with Valencia.
The only Spanish GP is the one in Barcelona, so, yeah, I guess you’re right. I’ve heard about alternating the place in the past, but I think that’s not a possibility right now.
