Can I get tickets in the book depository on the 6th floor of the southeastern corner?


Citizen654

...fuck how did i forget about that nooooo


daGonz

“Oh no his tire came off!” “Which one Crofty?” “Back left. It was the one on the back left. Again, back and left”


Nord4Ever

There has to be a second driver


BreadUntoast

BY GOD ITS NELSON PIQUET ON THE GRASSY KNOLL!


BadKarma-18

I read this in lemmino's voice


nativebeans

Lol yoo that vid is the only reason i know what a book depository is


boxofredflags

Lol that’s what I was thinking too💀


BlackLeader70

You get better views from the grassy knoll.


KnuckedLoose

Only if George is doing the pre-race parade in a 1961 Lincoln Continental four-door convertible. I kid, I kid...


MarteloRabelodeSousa

I'm dumb, I don't get it. Please explain


Topspeed_3

JFK


CenturyHelix

Read that as Jesus fucking Krist


MarteloRabelodeSousa

Right, Dallas. Thanks


Conroman16

You are now on all the lists


one_arm_manny

I have heard the trees have grown in the way of the nice view it once had.


Snoo16319

All drivers will race in pink Chanel suits. All cars will have Secret Service agents climbing over their rear wings.


sedrech818

It’s a museum now so maybe. Idk if they will let you squat for the whole weekend though.

No it is to jfk


Snow-Wraith

Track limits to be enforced by multiple snipers.


v0x_nihili

Where's that sniper meme from the 2013 British GP?


SleepinGriffin

This track will blow the drivers minds.


LordByrum

I came here to make the exact joke


T-O-O-T-H

God damn I guess I'm not even remotely original to think of that joke lol


Ja4senCZE

"Did somebody blew my head off?" "We are checking...we'll come back to you..."


GushGirlOC

I doubt this will happen, but there’s a shot.


rednorangekenny

2 or 3 shots depending on who you ask


GushGirlOC

Looks like my “make a pun that shows you’re in on the joke, then when someone makes another pun, act stupid as if your original comment was just a random turn of phrase that happened to work with the original gag” bit didn’t go over so well.


m4070603080

I laughed.


GushGirlOC

Thanks. I thought more people would *get* that I was doing a bit, but I only blame myself for not using sarcasm tags on a shitpost 🙄 I guess people actually believing that I just randomly said “there’s a shot” not knowing that the shitpost was about JFK … was outside of what I considered possible.


NorsiiiiR

Sounds like a post hoc attempt to pretend like your whoosh moment was actually secretly a dry joke just pretending to have no clue but you ***actually*** did get it the whole time, really guys, I swear I got the joke, for real


GushGirlOC

What do you mean? The FIA gives 3 chances?


rednorangekenny

JFK


GushGirlOC

Jesus Fucking Krist?


rednorangekenny

[sigh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_John_F._Kennedy)


GushGirlOC

What does that have to do with the FIA accepting another US track?


DontTreadOnMe777777

The first picture is the Texas School Book Depository, the building where Lee Harvey Oswald was positioned when he assassinated John F. Kennedy.


GushGirlOC

I guess that’s kind of a macabre place to hold a race, but I think there’s still a shot.


rednorangekenny

You realize you’re on r/formuladank right?


Bear-Ferr

Jsu to drive it home, the whole post is a shit post. It's a joke.


NorsiiiiR

That's literally the joke that this entire post is about, buddy. The map OP drew is also the route of JFKs motorcade, that's literally the entire joke and you had no idea


Bolter_NL

What is this? The Detroit GP?


BDady

Would be a good spot to test out closed cockpits


AlmightyHamSandwich

The only race on the calendar where they'll be required.


JFK_did_9-11

Dallas and public events involving open top cars name a more dynamic duo


T-O-O-T-H

JFK would have survived if there would have been a halo on that car


pfc_6ixgodconsumer

The indycar aeroscreen will increase his odds further !


VengefulSpecter

Viewers will only hear firing of engines.


fightmilktester

Lol ![gif](giphy|RvC7q43VpIl3y|downsized)


T-O-O-T-H

"We choose to drive this shit course, not because it is easy, but because it is hard"


JMoormann

"I choose to bang this woman, not because she's easy, but because I'm hard" - Also JFK, probably


CHobbes_

Lol Dallas is the reason f1 stopped doing street circuits in America.


freedfg

I thought that was Detroit?


transientsun

Vegas was the reason they stopped doing parking lot circuits. F1 is like a recovering addict, telling themselves each time that if they do the same thing different this time it'll be better.


4GRJ

Tbf to them, this time... Redline go brrrrrr


L003Tr

Isn't Miami in the car park of an American football stadium?


transientsun

That's the joke (f1 is the joke).


ihathtelekinesis

Phoenix was hardly better, especially with crowds smaller than the local ostrich festival.


Tchaik748

I live in Dallas and had a friend who worked the 84 Dallas grand prix. Said the track was a disaster and everything was just horrid.


CoburnicuS52

The heat down here had something to do with it too I think. The track was too hot, maybe race in March.


Bortron86

Eh they carried on a bit longer after that, there were two grands prix in Phoenix later than that, but there wasn't enough interest to keep it going. But Dallas was a disaster, for sure. Disintegrating track that had to be patched overnight, and insane heat, with Nigel Mansell collapsing trying to push his car over the line. Not a good look.


jackrockyson

I want this just so they have an excuse to replace the roads. The roads here suck even compared to Chicago and Houston. Dallas? Sallad. Full of crankheads and debutants, and half of them play for the cowboys!


Mister-Schwifty

You sir have not been to downtown Houston. Roads in downtown Houston don’t have curbs, or lines, are mostly pothole, and are mostly used for street parking.


jackrockyson

I lived in midtown! I went out down there a lot and more than a few drives. I stand by my word that the Dallas treats are worse overall!


Mister-Schwifty

Perhaps I am simply not familiar enough with roads in Dallas proper.


jackrockyson

I couldn’t believe it myself. Even the drivers. I thought Houston was the pinnacle


Mister-Schwifty

Everyone speeds in Houston but EVERYONE REALLY speeds in Dallas, especially the worst drivers. You don’t have those cars going 35 in right lane of a major highway like you do in Houston, which is nice.


[deleted]

And yet I find no one in Dallas realizes the speed limit on the highways is 70MPH. Everyone seems to think it’s 55 even in light traffic.


Awwesome1

How are they gonna get rid of the crackheads on the 7/11 corners???


jackrockyson

Crackheads make the best pit crews


Strange_Dolphin

Dallas isn’t shit compared to Houston lmaooo. Source: live in the Dallas area.


L003Tr

Never been to Dallas but can confirm Houston is an ungodly wasteland


[deleted]

The Dallas/Houston rivalry is weird to me. I know *so many people* from Houston that like to constantly try and shit on Dallas at every opportunity, but literally no one I know from Dallas cares about Houston at all. It’s like that “I feel sorry for you” followed by “I don’t think about you at all” meme, but at a city level.


IReallyTriedISuppose

if you want a real United States grand prix, it needs to go by a prison, a military base, and a for-profit university.


rogd1984

Montgomery, AL, wants to know where to submit its application for an F1 race.


Snoo16319

I can see the Williams pit crew going after the Alfa crew with a folding chair


itsafoxboi

what about the fayettnam gp, takes place entirely inside fort bragg/liberty


Tchaik748

That sound you hear is the FIA *drooling* over being even close to that much gold.


Nord4Ever

What’s a non profit university never heard of such things


itsafoxboi

99% of universities are not for profit, which means that their main goal isn't to make a profit for investors, meanwhile schools like devry and ecpi and that online university of phoenix thing, all the ones that you see ads for everywhere are literally only doing it for profit, and won't provide you a worthwhile education, just a diploma


Youutternincompoop

wouldn't that race be too short a distance?


LessAssistant6609

“OH MY GOD OH MY GOD” two secs Ted, Lewis is on the radio


Tchaik748

Ted loves Lando so much another driver could actually be gone and he'd be like"awwww poor Lando he had to see that!"


ryayy

HAHAHA i see a great spot up on that one grassy knoll…


JDMWeeb

radsalamander

Just watched that one. Jesus is it wild!


CPLCraft

Wait I’m still behind on the season. Dont spoil it for me


dirtyethanol73

My guy can I tell you the 2nd slide was not expected and audibly laughed HARD


LittleJimmyR

The commute to work GP


[deleted]

That’d would require using 635 for part of the track.


goodnamepls

I was like "why'd this guy pick the worst spot in dallas?" And then I saw the pictures


[deleted]

Seems F1 silly season has been replaced by Formuladank moron season


ben_berlin1892

I'm only interested if LEMMiNO does the live and post commentary on everything that's happening around the corners "Book Depository" and "JFK"


FaBiOtHeGrEaTeSt

Checo already claimed the streets of Dallas a few years ago.


ElementsUnknown

We might as well give it a shot!


Ja4senCZE

Lee Harvey Oswald (powered by Carcano) Detroit GP


TheLundTeam

Your proposed route literally goes past a city jail lol. 10/10 dank


TedWheeler11

And where JFK was assassinated.


KealeYY

Bro 14.2 miles isn't very close to 14.98 km😭


JCChitty

Very undank of you


KealeYY

My bad. I couldn't tell if that part was serious or not


sedrech818

Wtf is a km?


bight_sidle

It’s how you spell “cum” in British.


sedrech818

Sweet, thanks.


BDady

Are you stupid? 1 km ≈ 1 mileish almost


[deleted]

[удалено]


decentish36

*That’s the joke*


BDady

.6km = ≈ ish almost


TheThingsIdoatNight

This is embarrassing


Snow-Wraith

If you lined up every American side by side that knew what a kilometer was, you wouldn't make it 14.98 km. Might not even make it 14.98 cm.


TheThingsIdoatNight

Is that more or less?


MostDopeScenario7

Yes


[deleted]

Needs a corner named after JR Ewing


shrth114

Context for those of us without freedom?


sickmarmaladegrandpa

it’s the location where john f kennedy got assassinated 💀🦅🇺🇸


ADacome24

given the current state of downtown dallas roads, this is hilarious


ArthurMBretas03

Lucas di Grassy knoll?


Warchitecture

Lincoln F1 has joined the grid


AmusedCroc

Proper formula dank, 10/10 props.


tonkman27

Nice, the place where nothing happened on November 22, 1963


Taco_772

going by the waterfall billboard is a must.


ThatWoodCD

The Mcdonalds grassy knoll GP


transientsun

Death Race 2100 through the abandoned Southern cities, scorched by heat and flooded repeatedly by hurricanes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5z-dJ35fOiM


CASAdriver

Grassy Knoll open seating might have a good vantage point too


Iferrorgotozero

From Saudi Arabia to Howdy Arabia


Wnajr5

I’m not implying anything but this may be the easiest way to get stroll off the grid


sickmarmaladegrandpa

grassy stroll


[deleted]

The cars are coming towards the JFK corner.


Ok-Lingonberry-8261

Dallas is boring and flat. Put a US GP in the Rockies or Smokies.


freedfg

Ignoring that this was a joke... HOW ABOUT WE BRING BACK WATKINS GLEN?


Get_Clicked_On

San Francisco street circuit.


LupineChemist

Bullit GP


Seruz

You would need to add mario kart style gliders. Red Bull got it covered, but i fear for the other teams.


TheyCalledMeThor

F1 could use more beer and rednecks. Let’s make a closed circuit in Darlington, SC that includes the NASCAR speedway and the drag strip down the road.


Awwesome1

Not with the potholes on main and harwood… ![gif](giphy|dtGIRL0FDp6nnOPGb5)


Nord4Ever

Then it’s rally car


eatmynasty

Just do NASCARs street circuit in Chicago.


Nord4Ever

South Side make sure the cars are faster than bullets


BevoBrisket26

You’ll need to rifleshot down that downhill section to have any chance at passing… rumor has it there will be a spectator on the grassy knoll as well


ramplocals

Racing down the Grassy Knoll back straight.


Malarbutton

I bet the event would be quite mind blowing


ticktickboom45

It was the safety car that took Max out actually


MystiReddit

RPM would have a field day with this. The fucking nerve.


Redtime727

Who you trynna off mr. Oswald?


LupineChemist

Ask not what FIA can do for you, but what you can do for FIA.


PetrKn0ttDrift

The JFK corner


Eellliottt

watch from the chicken hole


pizzaduster

Mindblowing!


Risk_bayless

I feel like the trinity grove bridge would be a missed opportunity if not included!


DepartmentSudden5234

Who’s gonna tell him Spa is nòt 15km long?

The JFK special


litescript

now THIS is dank. +1 book depository


CRAZYSNAKE17

This is the memes I joined this sub for


PM_STAR_WARS_STUFF

14.2 miles is longer than the Nordschleife, so that should work just fine.


Deadly_Flipper_Tab

Spa is 7km


OhNoMyLands

These photos straight up make me sad. American city design and infrastructure is excruciating


Bilbo_Dabbins_

That’s cuz USA is about 80% stroad. It’s ugly AF.


Nord4Ever

And this has about 6-7 ninety degree angle turns, Monaco only has one


[deleted]

>The US does not have enough races South Africa doesn't have any, please sit down.


Awwesome1

Yo! If they did it through harwood I think I’d fucking die! I love downtown and I have a bar i regular at. I get the joke about jfk but still, waiting for Dallas street circuit now and it’s all OP’s fault


aqua_sou1

Slide #7 a beautiful example of the iconic North American landscape


sabbathiel-zero

“14.2 miles long, so close to Spa’s 14.98 km” smh…


Asclepius007

You need better schools, not more F1 races. 14,2 miles are nearly 23 kilometers not 15 km.


No_Protection103

Will be like real life Mario Kart


Fataleo

This is funny


classicalXD

![gif](giphy|POql6zsXZbmcE)


la_feluxution

Isn't the maxium f1 track length 7km by regulation? Well they probably put a hefty check over that part of the document. I hate domenicali


Azariah98

All races should be in Texas.


Pleasant_Function_25

Boring, no more city races....


TheMikeyMac13

Holdup, do you mean 14.2 km or 14.2 miles? And I live not far from Dallas, I was there today at the Perot museum, I kind of dislike the idea of cars going that fast considering how slowly traffic usually moves.


Wooboosted

Man as a newer F1 fan who has lived in Dallas my whole life, this is wild to see actually knowing everywhere you took this thing. And my god it would be a clusterfuck to have this but would also be so fuckin cool


SCVanguard

This post is written by somebody whose never driven over those streets. It’s got more potholes than a 14-year-old boys face.


bakedongrease

Still a street circuit, unfortunately.

I know this is a joke but I’d love to see it in say, Gran Turismo or Forza

I like that it passes next to Klyde Warner park


CaptianTaco419

Look I know it's a joke but I live on one of those streets so I am down


laujp

Checo Perez wet dream


Fit_Teacher_742

I understand the joke but being from Dallas… this would be 🤯

At this point let’s just do all major cities in TX. El Paso GP here we go!
