Over the weekend Circuit of The Americas (Austin, TX) hosted the GT World Challenge (GT3), McLaren Trophy, and Pirelli GT4 America racing series. I haven't been to COTA in a few years and I was excited to come see the races this Saturday with two friends. We spent the drive from Houston debating the various merits and pitfalls of Formula 1. After a very confusing loop around COTA, due to construction, we found the open parking lot and made a b-line for the paddock.
