COTA F1 weekend was pretty 5/7. It was a little hot on Saturday and I just ignore the cost of things like beer and food as an impact on my fun because, well, can't do much about it so . We drank beers in Lot N before entering and on race day, showed up 10 mins before the start after I destroyed a triple Whataburger. Did GA again, watched the race from between turns 2/3. Good times.
They really need to continue working on infrastructure for crowds of that size. JT and Stevie (didn't stay for either) do not draw enough people to reduce the shitshow leaving. Also, Lot N even after just a little overnight rain is a fucking swamp. Starting to think that if I'm going to do this again, the RV camping route is the way to do it. Every year I say "meh" about doing it again next year but I probably will go again in 2018. Definitely not doing season pass since no IMSA and no WEC and what would keep me from F1 is if I want to take the R to rallyx nationals and it is the same weekend again. We'll see.
I missed the race kar meet
next year maybe, for the moto gp..

Traffic is always a yuuge issue at large events (F1, NASCAR, etc). Having been to several NASCAR races at near peak attendance, most of them suck pretty bad at getting people out. Hell even going to some dirt track motorcycle races can be a shit show. Indy is really the only place I've ever been that gets people in and out very efficiently. Daytona is probably 2nd best.

The Redbull series came to Indy this year, but it doesn’t look like they’re coming back next in 2018. Redbull Air Races look like they’re coming back again, I’d like to see them if the weather would cooperate. The races are in October, so it’s generally cold, cloudy, and windy.
The only other unique event they’ve announced so far is the Vintage Invitational which seems to be doing well.
