I feel Miami is still playing catch up with our friends over in Dubai





Imagine Dubai were to do dip their toe in a street race. Not inconceivable. As epic a location as the Miami project, just as picturesque and just as glamorous for the uber rich & a fraction of the price for the ‘real’ fans.

Well played James

Agreed as in Dubai currency is unlimited and it simply comes down to if it can be acquired (and then modified to Dubai's 'specs'). Kinda like a Bollywood movie set. This is (partially) why my wife and i enjoy watching the comedy TV series Dubai Bling.

I always recall years ago being on a tour of the Yas Marina F1 facility over in AD where the guide said “you’ll notice the stands aren’t that big… that’s by design, we don’t need the money”

Such honesty!!

Adrian's (relatively) new hobby which he will have more time to enjoy soon.

https://youtu.be/WPkb-bXrChw?si=i-Sppv4Q_YQQtvNZ

He's off the 2026 "push to pass" chassis at RBR so this will be his more glorious aero endeavor.

The Official Formula One Thread!

Ferrari will bring some visible (and some internal) upgrades in hopes to make Imola tifosi happy. The visible aero is fairly well explained in a photo and story in the link.


* I inserted the word IMOLA into the original photo for clarity


The enumerated upgrades are explained in the article.

The Italian church bells nearby could use a good workout.

I also see some minor changes in the lower part of the body, around the middle of the 5 and 6. I will be curious to see how much of an advantage this many changes will mean.

The Official Formula One Thread!

Some may recall that May 2024 marks the 30th year after the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. I saw this series of articles and embedded videos that you may appreciate. There is also a long podcast respecting some favorite memories.
