    Oh cool! Yeah we’ve been to the USGP twice. It was such an expensive and logistical nightmare in 2021 that I was like “surely we can do better for this price” so we went to Mexico and I was near Silverstone for work during it last year. I’ve been to Japan and China for the GP a long time ago and was like let’s do Japan, the place is the best!

    My tl;Dr of F1 races is to book a refundable hotel as soon as you see the schedule, then get flights if you manage to score F1 tickets. For Suzuka, I’d recommend staying in Nagoya (or nearer the circuit if you can), or near Chubu airport if you can manage the high speed boat logistics. I’m not sure how they work other than we were too late for them, but it seems a very nice route if you can pull it off.

    Canada is great, Montreal itself is lovely too. Cool that you’re in austin-ish; it’s also a great city.
