Watch the cars from the hill above turns 2-6 at least for a bit. Assuming that area is still GA.

I was surprised to see that they have the lighting scaffolds running all the way down the Vegas strip, a whole month before the race. That’s a heck of a lot of temporary work to do every year on the main road in town, and really quite ugly looking.

Consider ear protection (earplugs or full ear protection headphones) - especially the cars running in support can be pretty loud.

Try to walk around and see different spots from the track if possible, it’s always cool to see the cars attacking different corners.

Are you there for all three days? Just GA tickets or higher-grade passes than that? I know a few others have been to COTA, so there should be other advice too.

Surprised there haven't been any crass jokes about Paddock passes or country music.
I predict Vegas will be somewhat of a shitshow, and I can't wait to see what Pirelli decides to enforce this time around.

I forget where, but I read earlier this week that for the Las Vegas race, they may refer to it just as pit lane, rather than the paddock

Thread is forgetting that capitalism solves problems v. quickly and therefore this event will go without a hitch (including the race where Max will win by 40-60s and literally nothing will happen bcs straight lines)
