I did not see all the pre race stuff at COTA, but I completely agree the US has always had a better perspective of giving value to people, the seats I think are much cheaper than many GP's again seeing value in packed grandstands over empty covered seats...... I am sure the new owners will bring that to F1 I hope, as well as cheaper cost more noise and more entertainment. I remember years ago when I travelled more for work I managed to catch an American LeMans race at Laguna Seca, they used to allow the fans on the grid before the race i talked to many of the drivers and have photos with the cars, imagine that in F1...
