2024 VEGAS GP: What’s changed?

[@dungbeetle.]

Still can’t believe that Carlos had to take a penalty last year in Vegas for the repairs to his car caused by the loose drain cover. Crazy.

[@lalaaaaaa08]

rules are rules 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@billythekid-bestservant1]

And worst of all, it's one of the reasons why ferrari lost the p2 championship. Had that been ferrari in the p2 standings, ferrari would create a better car for this year.

[@vojtechnovacek7776]

@@billythekid-bestservant1 They have much more money than they can spend under the budget cap rules so more prize money wouldn't help them. But if they finished P2, they would get less wind tunnel and CFD times so they would actually have worse car.

life is not fair

[@atomic3325]

I feel like its kinda stupid and counter productive to go to such lengths to stop casual observers. 99% of them would not be paying customers anyway. If you let a casual diner have a few glimpses you might actually convert them into a fan. With all this blocking, well you precluding the opportunity of growing your audience at all. I think the extremely minimal loss in sales would be worth the exposure to the non-F1 initiated public. I mean some areas of obstruction are certainly reasonable, but some are not. It just smacks of greed and squeezing every drop out of the viewers.

[@tomnewham1269]

100%. I think the blocking of the bridges is to do with safety. I cannot think of an over head bridge at a race track that isn't blocked to stop pedestrian views.

[@df8340]

It’s a safety issue, literally every f1 track with has cover on the over track walkways

[@lucasrumd]

On the bridge/walkways it completely makes sense, but the perimeter of the track makes it look like a concentration camp. It should look more "natural", like monaco for instance.

[@Euddvmdi]

I dont agree with that at all. F1 is an exclusive and expensive sport to watch. If you dont have the money, then you shouldnt be able to watch it. Thats also just unfair to the people who do pay big amounts of money, if some random crowd can just go ahead and view it for free. Why would anybody then even pay if you can watch it for free? At the end of the day formula 1 is a buisness, that needs to consistently make money at each grand prix. Allowing free viewing spots at some gps would not only be inconsistent, it would hurt the exclusive brand Image f1 has.

[@MrGamerxpert]

@@Euddvmdi But certain GPs do have ways to watch it for free

[@kayleebeare]

Totally agree with the man talking about how it is cheaper to attend a race in Europe rather than the Las Vegas GP. Got a 3 day grandstand ticket to the Netherlands for next year cheaper than the Las Vegas GP general admission 3 day. Not including flights though. An Airbnb in a small town outside of Zandvoort was really cheap for 5 days as well with the train being a very reasonable option to get to the track. Just really unfortunate that the average American fan can’t attend.

[@catchnkill]

True. Once you are in Netherland you can take the high speed train to France and England. The trip will be a lot better than a Las Vegas trip.

[@df8340]

Sounds like a you problem, 3day grandstands are only $500 and suites are $1500. I’m not sure what you fly, but you’re not getting to Europe, a hotel, and grandstands seats for $500

[@kayleebeare]

@df8340 Not really a me problem as I don’t care to attend but I’m curious for future planning, where have you seen grandstands for $500? I’m seeing grandstand tickets for JUST quali day for $300. F1 website sold out and sold out quickly for GA. Also, no need to be rude. I was just stating my experience.

[@kayleebeare]

@@df8340 No need to be rude :) I attended the Austin GP instead this year, thanks!

[@catchnkill]

@@df8340 I think that you are correct. If strictly comparing apple with apple, the initial thread post writer cannot get a better deal to Netherland. I assume that he/she lives in a East coast city in U.S. However her post is valid if that person lives in Asia Pacific. The plane ticket price will be more expensive to LV than Amsterdam. The whole cost picture shifts to Netherland's flavour.

[@suhailsweidi8169]

It actually pisses me off that certain businesses can be highly impacted negatively by an event. The day they turn around Monaco and close every balcony from public view, is the day they can do this type of shit. No one should suffer because of an entertainment event. These events should have a major positive impact to the citizens of that place, not only the big casinos and the major corporations.

[@KymIllman]

F1 hasn’t closed that balcony, they’ve just decided not to open it

[@Lsr7102]

​@@KymIllmanhe wasn't referring to that Balcony, rather F1 blocking the balconies of private residences in Monaco, in line with how they've covered walkways. It's also such a shame that a convenience store is affected so badly, given footfall should be up with the additional work crews in the area and then increase in visitors

[@BrianHoff04]

@@KymIllman If I recall, last year F1 was charging businesses along the track a certain amount of money for people that "might be able to see" the track during the race events. And that the amount was ludicrous. Denny's was interviewed about that last year. So, I suspect that charge still exists and Denny's has decided to close down their balcony area (and the sales that would have come from actual customers) rather than have to pay an exorbitant fee based on "potential people viewing" a race while dining at Denny's. That's where things go off the rails. That somehow Denny's (a private property) can even be subject to a fee they cannot afford because they happen to be adjacent to an event they did not make happen. This is about corporate greed as well as local Government over-reach. Probably costs too much money to challenge if this is even legal. I feel bad for the small market shown in the video. And the dude that said he flew his family to another country to watch an F1 race because the costs to attend it in his own city are too high. That's not how this should work. Not at all.

[@jn1982]

There's plenty of desert to build a premium road-race track just outside of Vegas.

[@qwj68boots]

​@jn1982 Yup, thought as much too but remember, F1 wants to add more street races in cities where all amenities are a stone's throw away. They earn more profit that way. That's why Spa will always be in jeopardy. It ain't about the racing.

This Grand Prix is the perfect example of what F1 shouldn't be. Cover windows so people can't see the track without paying $50000. Absolute perfection.

[@anthonybarton2103]

It's the worst race of the year. I feel like the drivers are not racing and just showing the fans the car. People go to these races to see cars race. No one cares about famous people at the race.

ahhhh. That's what I was wondering, why the Heineken area ticket prices were so low this year, when last year I saw it was all corporates suites and really expensive. So it was moved to a basic GA area due to demand being so low last year. I remember seeing both the Heineken and Bellagio high end areas barely 1/4 - 1/3 full.

[@DevanSabaratnam]

A lot of these problems (manhole covers, people stopping on the overhead walkways, access to local shops etc.) were all solved *very* effectively 40 years ago with the Adelaide street circuit, which was the first ever F1 GP I attended in person. Pity that the organisers today cannot tap into the experience and learnings of decades ago - would have saved them a lot of time, cost and annoyance.

[@JohnGeorgeHill]

I always find it fascinating that most F1 tracks put their largest block of grandstands on the straights. As any true race fan knows, the action and the beauty takes place in the turns. I attended the one and only CART race in Downtown Vegas. The difference between that race and the F1 race was like the difference between a fine restaurant and a taco truck.

[@sultanoftippoo3857]

Yes there are Grandstands on the main start/finish line straights but that’s for several reasons; 1: these Grandstands overlook the pits so fans of the cars see pit stops etc. 2: it’s where the race starts so fans see the build up to the race (celebs on grid etc) 3: it’s where the race finishes so fans see the podium ceremony Beyond that I can’t think of many long straights at any F1 venue away from the start/finish that have Grandstands (maybe Monza on the run up to Parabolica but that stand is at the exit of the Ascari chicane). What other tracks are you referring to?

[@GloomGaiGar]

Safety issue. As you said, turns are where the action happens so areas around turns are the most accident prone. Less people there, less problems.

[@f.kieranfinney457]

Vegas is basically all straights. But as a street track very limited space for other grandstands.

[@JohnGeorgeHill]

@@sultanoftippoo3857 "The action and the beauty," means that's where drivers take their lines and the art in that. A two to three second pit stop is the team working. The driver just has to hit his mark. If you want to be on a straight, most people will pick it as close to the end to see the passes going into the turn.

The traffic flow seemed to be much better this year than it did last year. Just got home from a weekend at Wynn. Was out at Mirage last October when they were completing all of the paving associated with the circuit. Getting to and from the airport was much easier this year. It seems that either the locals have figured out different routes or there is genuinely less interruption. Pedestrian navigating was more my most noticed impact. Crossing the Strip is more limited to a few bridges and a few select at grade crossings. It would be interesting to see how things look on actual race weekend.

Just so everyone knows, the reason for all the rules are because of how people in the states act. Common sense and decency are not traits we show very often.

I've always been of the opinion that street circuits are for the most part bad because they're typically too narrow with minimal run-offs and therefore produce little in the way of racing. However this video points out a whole new level of bad as these temporary tracks displace the locals and ruins local businesses. I always hear the excuse that bringing F1 to a city is a major boost to the local economy, but the truth is that whatever money is made as a result of F1 taking place never actually goes into the local economy, leaving those small businesses severely out of pocket, which in turn means that lay-offs of staff throughout the event are highly probable and would severely impact the ability of those workers to put food on the table for their families. Street circuits suck in every conceivable way imaginable.

I thought it was fascinating that the lady was selling mostly Lando and Max merch. You get the impression from some media outlets, Sky and the so called The Race, that america supports lewis.

Americans love winners.

I keep hearing about ticket prices, but there are 3 day grandstand seats for $645, less than i paid for in texas in 2021. Plus they give you free food and drinks. Don't buy the inflated tickets?

[@melissaumphress7372]

Prices keep dropping the closer we get. Our $600 3-day tix got upgraded for free to $1250 tix 2 months ago. I guess they want to show full grandstands!

See you at the track Kym!

I dont see whats the big deal about the bridge barriers. They are for safety and you can see them not just in Las Vegas, not just in F1 but in basically every race ever that is bigger than a dirt track in the middle of nowhere
