Re: Future F1 calendar
I personally would like to see an F1 car try the Manx TT Mountain course, but I know it's realistically impossible if for no other reason than Ballaugh Bridge. How long is that course? 37.73 miles. https://twitter.com/FCuringa/status/1625056474157268992 And here is a video of an onboard of a lap of...

I believe the sprinklers are only in the short version (from the start/finish straight drivers must turn right to Mistral straight) of the circuit. Yes!
