A cringe start of an over hyped race weekend.

A guy impersonated a traffic pylon. A DJ hardly touching his equipment. No cars. A few minutes of embarrassed drivers. Lots of LEDs. Typical Vegas: no substance.

Even the audience cheers were montaged.

Let's go racing and forget this monstrosity.

I didn't watch but can somebody summarise it.

27 minutes of musical acts, 2 minutes of announcing the drivers’ names (you already know them)

Journey was good. The singer they got to replace Steve Perry did a good job.

Okay, I'll start: was something else supposed to happen at the end there?
