In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Most definitely! It's coming from all the handbags in this thread.
Yeh shame its not this 2007 layout which looked great.
Just to note, this is NOT the Las Vegas 202x layout for F1.
Really wants title no3, why not carry on. He just needs alpine to come good for 1 season and deliver a car that can challenge.
Mclaren upset that they arent a B team for someone
In seriousness its a valid point about the B teams and tech sharing.
Are you sure about the time difference as it's 13.27 now over there
They move to DST at a different point than us, so it does vary by an extra hour for some weeks of the year.
Lets be realistic, No 3 is not going to happen is it.
Alpine are not going to produce a car he can get No3 in.
Yeah but it will never be 14.00 Vegas time to 6am bst unless he ment it the other way round
But right now it's aligned - the difference is the US does DST a couple weeks earlier than Europe; we caught up this past weekend. The time difference between GMT and Las Vegas will be 7 hours for two weeks in March, 9 hours for two weeks in September, and 8 hours for the rest of the year.
Yeah it's been inverted. If it's a night race in Vegas (presuming 22:00 local time) that'd be 6 AM GMT.
Mate you've inverted it - 14:00 in Vegas is 22:00 GMT.
I realise that now.
Are they actually on about a night race over there, if so I can see the race being on a Saturday night, as your basically fecking over the majority of your fan base and going head to head with the NFL in America.
Apologies; didn't mean to pile on!
Now I have got my timings right, what a donut Iam !!
The timings are going to be rubbish, unless it changes from the normal 2 pm race start

no need, I cock it up.
Have they clarified when that would fall in the calendar? I'm assuming it'd be during the summer when there would be no NFL- surely they'd try to avoid it on that basis as you say. And if it is in summer then a night race would be essential I'd reckon given the temperatures. The Saturday night race is an intriguing possibility but you also might cannibalise viewers due to college football?
Sweet, first person driving in laps@Schmiznurf check this out, so boringly riding around in laps. Let's laugh at this "sport".
For real though, kinda of a cool view that.
The report the pauldie put up says the Thanksgiving weekend and Saturday would be the logical choice a day to night one probably the preferred option
Have the ever held an F1 race on a Saturday ?
Huh that's very interesting. Potentially the impact of the NFL would be slightly mitigated given the 3 games on Thursday that week? I suppose though that's what they're weighing up. If they are committed to growing the sport in the US though, owning that Saturday night would go a long way potentially and on that basis it makes sense.
A bit of research and I have answered my own question.
The 1981 U.S. GP-West II in Las Vegas was held on Saturday. A brand new circuit, it was one of the first GPs to circumvent the rule that a race had to be held on the circuit before a GP was. Perhaps t was the first GP held in that regard. Practice was held on Wednesday with qualifying on Thursday and Friday. I was there that Wednesday, waiting for the circuit to open. I kid you not, there was a woman sitting behind a card table at the entrance to the pits. "Carlos Reutemann? Oh yes, I see your name listed. You can come in." Unbelievable but true.
it turns out that the British GP for a while alternated between Saturdays and Sundays in concert with the odd-year Silverstone/even-year Brands Hatch venue alternation, and even including the the two GPs held on British soil in 1983:
Up to and including 1975: Saturday
1976: Sunday
1977: Saturday
1978: Sunday
1979: Saturday
1980: Sunday
1981: Saturday
1982: Sunday
1983 GP of GB: Saturday (Silverstone); GP of Europe: Sunday (Brands Hatch)
1984: Sunday
1985 Both GPs/venues: Sunday
1986 and on: Sunday
Funny how you forget things, seems like Sunday F1 has always been around , but its not, I would have watched the races on a Saturday.

Cool yeah, but shite scary for the average driverSweet, first person driving in laps

I have NO idea how they have such a limited view and drive at that high speeds with ease. F1 should adopt Inter Milan's slogan #NotForEveryone
No i agree they won't, but...you never know ( i wouldnt bet on it, not even a penny).
But with letters big enough Mazepin and Latifi can see them.Cool yeah, but shite scary for the average driver

They were all before my time
, it makes sense in a world where the likes of WWE have moved some of there PPVs to Saturday to more than likely grab more of the European market,Let's wait for Miami and see what big changes they have brought to the car. So far they are 3rd fastest car I believe.
FIA have just announced the Las Vegas GP and it will be in November 2023
It will be a night race and will be held on a Saturday. The eight-hour time difference will mean it is broadcast early on Sunday morning in Europe. .

have you forgotten how to f1 in the off season? double down on it. don’t admit you’re wrong. force las vegans to live in your new time zone. tell themagicfoolbus that he posts here on the fastest pc and that’s the only reason he manages it.
I wonder what will drop off the calender to accommodate las vegas gp?
Straight forward replacement for russia gp most likely.

Under the current agreement they can have up to 24 races, so I’m guessing a South African GP is very much possible with the Russian GP being cut
Prefer they race back in IMS than Vegas tbh. I guess the scenery compensate the track for spectators.
Vegas is going to be lit for this racing weekend. Just displeased they're not racing around the Raiders new stadium aka the Roomba.
Scenery haha, more buildings... Mugello, now that was scenery.
At least there are more than four corners.
3 DRSs?
That earlier map was entirely wrong then!
This looks much better.
How safe is it going to be? Are they knocking down any 'landmarks' such as the Eiffel Tower or using valet parking outside the casinos?
Will Americans think it's exciting enough or that there's plenty of overtaking? Maybe it has a couple or so longish straights.
Obviously Russia will be cut, but they’ll rotate some of the European races (France and Germany most likely) and i expect Imola to be cut or rotated from 2023 as they don’t need two races in Italy.
I expect noise around Monaco to start in the next few months as they don’t have a contract for a race next year.
