My last two trips to Circuit of the Americas

[rblanshard]

Hello my friends! While not necessarily Le Mans related, I hope Aysedasi and Bentley03 will grant me some leeway in this thread.

So, first thing's first: here's my ALMS/WEC report from the 6 Hours at the Circuit of the Americas from back in September:

Secondly, I was down there again this weekend for the F1 race. When something occurred to me.

While it's fun do drive down to Austin and see the F1 cars attack the track, hear them scream past you, and enjoy everything the track has to offer you - it just doesn't compare to Le Mans and sports car racing.

I was, if you will, bored with the race itself. I really enjoyed my ALMS/WEC race weekend - the style of racing is just more my style.

If nothing else, the F1 race this weekend has made me more excited to get started on my plans for 2014 Le Mans. I need to get my tickets to the track and book the flight and hotel. I'll get started on that this week. I'll also stock up on the Woodford Reserve.

Sorry, for not being around here lately, but I'll be online more often in the coming weeks. More than anything, however, I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in 7 months.
