Modern F1 was sold to countries by pointing to the prestige of Monaco. All those countries wanted to be like them. I wonder if they want to be Los Vegas.
Absolute rage bait of an opinion piece, but not completely stupid in the points it make. What is stupid is drawing these conclusions after a single race and ignoring all the non-race issues that the event had!
California’s car culture is pretty much dead now. I don’t see a ton of people going to Vegas for this annually; maybe once. With most of mod culture killed, the average potential enthusiast is missing from the equation IMO, as such a person that has built hotrods, painted professionally, did custom graphics, and worked in a few machine shops porting heads and building motors. Vegas is mostly driven by SoCal. There are still some enthusiast holdouts, but not enough to fuel the thriving culture and businesses of decades past.
