Eagle's Canyon, Grandsport, Motorsport Ranch, Harris Hill ... or others? How much do they usually run? You can do a full weekend with The Drivers Edge at Eagles Canyon for ~$600. MSR Houston is ~$500. I am guessing Cresson is closer to ECR prices. Half weekend at Sebring with chin is ~$399. For sure COTA is a bargain..... Did you see their new BMW school $2500 for 1.5 hours of track time.... Yeah COTA's crazy. They're only interested in the high-end client

They're only interested in the high-end client Ferrari Club, Porsche Club and BMW Club and you have a number of high rollers.

I wonder what the over/under is on any thread ending up as a COTA discussion.

I wonder what the over/under is on any thread ending up as a COTA discussion. : If that was directed at me: On an American F1 board? There's probably a good chance COTA will be mentioned fairly frequently in multiple threads. And it's only natural for COTA to come up here if someone posts about publicly funded sports venues. COTA is a racing circuit that's the posterchild of publicly funded sports venues - that's received the most public funding of any privately-owned sports venue ever, and whose GP I'm told is the only GP since Kyalami 40+ years ago where the government subsidizes the race despite having no ownership stake in the land, the facility, or the race promotion company. :If that was not directed at me:, then never mind!

I'm late to expressing this thought, but I think Alpine deserve some kudos here. They looked horrible at the beginning of the year and have chipped away at their problems and crawled up into a points scoring position (with Gasly not far behind). I hope they can keep improving.

There's been a lot going on at Ensone lately that the YouTube drones and TV pundits have been ignoring, slagging Renault/Alpihe off seems to give them more satisfaction. Meanwhile Alpine has poached David Sanchez form McLaren to supervise their technical departments and chief aero specialist Michael Broadhurst from Red Bull meaning they've already replaced most of the one's responsible for this years dismal car. Most of the new signings and restructured personels efforts probably won't start showing up til around mid season but they're already showing improvement simpy by finally getting the car down to minimum weight, their next challenge will be adding the rear down force and grip they lack without any extra drag.
