This is so awesome to watch the Juniors. Thanks to USF Pro 2000 Championships for providing the coverage. Having often raced Virginia International Raceway on iRacing, I know what these young drivers are going through. It is a tough course, especially with great drivers breathing down their necks.
I find it amazing that all the feeder series are racing together at the same event. Aren't FR Americas and F4 US supposed to be 'competitors' to USF Pro 2000 and USF2000? But anyway ... great to see.
Little upgrades, like over 100 millon dollars in infrastructure + paying F1 management another hundreds of millons. Historic racetracks like Hockenheimring had to quit F1 because of how expensive it was
