- incompatible 2y agoI'd guess the regular traffic would just take a detour around the closed roads. Actually, I'm now also visualizing all the surrounding roads clogged with traffic related to the race. It's not increasing my enthusiasm.
- selectodude 2y agoBarcelona has an excellent metro system. The trips will either go via train or not at all. And that’s a good thing.
- jug 2y agoAbsolutely. This is like 20 cars on a circuit! The event itself surely doesn't cause much pollution. In F1 in general, Barcelona and elsewhere, I'd say the circus _surrounding_ it causes by far the most pollution. Logistics to/from the circuit with trucks upon trucks per team, setting up the teams' respective pits, private airplanes to/from the circuit, thousands of spectators to/from circuits, some going by yachts, many by air for at least one stint. The race track? In the big picture, a rounding error.
