    That does not look good. How many ICU beds does F1 require for their safety/emergency plans?

    That's the artists "flexing", or the festival itself.

    MotoGP went off fine, from a spectator POV.......

    It's a go, I just got the Padoock club invite... thinking of going for Quali... However, there are a few modifications from normal:

    every day - you have to submit to a COVID test before entering the paddock club
    with no paddock tours or garage tours ( Mercedes says on a case by case basis - max 4 pp per hour.) FOM has no tours.

    Pit walk is staggard times to limit crowds, and there is supposed to be a 12 ' barrier between the garage and pit walk.
    all entrance to the paddock is by shuttle, so I think they test you at the pick-up location ( front parking) and then take you to the club.

    Given all that hassle I'm not too sad not to be there this year.

    We are bringing a big FCA group from Long Island arriving Thursday. We’ve been there before, but anything we need to know about Covid crap now?

    Aside from special stuff like paddock club that takes you inside the bubble, I don’t expect any requirements more stringent than it takes to get on a plane.

    They wish they could compete with the mouse :) most of that has been there every year. Annoying that the Biergarten keeps moving farther from T15 every year :(

    They're just trying to theme it. In reality the place is big enough to still look very much like a race track. I do love the infield with all the food stands etc

    I'm not sure - looking at flights now. Seems I'd have to do Atl - Dallas, drive and back the same day not sure I want to do that.

    if I can chopper in from Dallas - then I'd be in... but doubt that is $$$ feasible.

    ATL-AUS flights all full?
    Don't forget to look at IAH and SAT, I think they're both closer than DFW

    When weather or stupidity causes me to miss the last flight into AUS from someplace, I always check for one to SAT. Around midnight it's usually under an hour drive :)

    Odd these are booking up, as they normally are business travellers.
