OT: My wife has become a fan...(F1?)

...not of cycling, but of Formula1. I had been watching some F1 programs recently while working out on the Erg and she came in and started watching. Friday we were having a conversation and she asked if there was a way to watch the races on TV...next thing you know we are watching qualifying and then yesterday evening we watched the Chinese GP. Now she wants to know if they are racing in the U.S. Austin here we come?

Watch the old 1966 movie Grand Prix. It's fun.

CoTA in Austin is a great place to see F1 - you get to experience the whole circus.

Not a street circuit, but a great permanent course.

I wish I could afford to see Monaco...

The new documentary on YouTube is supposed to be good. I haven't seen it yet, but hear good things.

Great film and "Le Mans" is very good as well.

Montreal is also good and it is a street course.

You can drive to Montreal, William - just have current passports
