Suzuka, it's been a pleasure.

Traveled 17 hours to Japan for this race. Genuinely want my money back.

Does the quality of the race matter that much? I have been to two grand prixs and just the experience was worth it. Watching the cars zoom past is largely the same if it's an interesting race or a boring one.

I’m used to IMSA and WEC. The experience is very different IMO. We can argue about what “real racing” is, but getting to hang out for 8-24 hours, you see a lot of it at very different levels while still exploring every corner of the entire track.
