No news, other than round 2 being this weekend.
It's at the Thermal Club, which is a championship round for the first time, after appearing as a non-championship round last year (for the first time).
Tickets are capped to something like 5000 people (or even fewer), and they cost a small fortune.
The track is pretty pants.

Was the racing any good or is it a procession?

They had a silly format last year from memory (sprint races ahead of a big buck final race?). But it was pretty dull. They didn't want the money enough.

I recognize that circuit from an American lower tier series. They ran the full circuit.

I think Liam Lawson stepped into each Penske for qualifying. Terrible performance. None in the top 12.

A few incidents in the early laps. De Francesco punted McLaughlin off even before green.
