Great news. There's nothing less grassroots than F1 but we should make sure to have a Grassroots event of some sort around the race. I'm local and will be happy to help organize.

Who wants to place a bet on how many times the track inspection deadline will have to be extended before getting FIA approval to race on it? Think Korea (at least that is a precident for very last minute approval).
