and that is just the first to be cancelled…

The USA just provided motivation for a couple of generations of terrorism; and that is not even counting on their own domestic issues. Who the hell would want to (or be able to afford) traveling anywhere for an entertainment event that could be an easy target for a terrorist attack or ICE presence?

And most of Europe including the ā€œhome of motorsportā€ UK completely allowed the attacks on Iran and even allowed use of their bases. Many agree with it.

I’m 100% for cancelling US races for these reasons btw.
