30 Days To Lights Out: Countdown to the Vegas Grand Prix


Listen Later

We're roughly a month away from Formula 1 hitting the Vegas strip, and to say it's a "controversial topic" would be a massive understatement.

On one side, you've got the proponents who love it; they say it will bring global attention to the city, shine the spotlight on Vegas as a world-class sporting city, and be a HUGE economic benefit for the city with an estimated $1.2 billion impact.

Then, on the other side, you've got the people who absolutely HATE the event; they're tired of traffic tie-ups & construction chaos, they're disgusted with F1's greed, and they're tired of disruptions on the strip with track preparation - including blocking off the Bellagio Fountains & closing the Mirage Volcano.

Joining me for his second appearance is Todd McCandless, host of The Parc Fermé Podcast, an awesome F1 podcast.  As we get closer to "lights out", I thought it might be fun to have Todd back for another chat about the Las Vegas Grand Prix.  Todd was here about a year and a half ago after the race was officially announced, but with things fully in motion and race weekend quickly approaching, I figured it was time for an update.

Todd and I also talked about the current F1 season, Max Verstappen & Red Bull Racing's dominance & the effect that was having on viewership, and whether or not the addition of another American-based team would re-spark U.S. interest in Formula 1.

For all the latest on Formula 1, visit The Parc Fermé website and make sure to listen to The Parc Fermé Podcast.  Also be sure to follow The Parc Fermé on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram.
