Both. And noisy. I went up for beer and forgot to put my plugs back in and when they came around the noise level almost knocked me down.

We went to silver stone a few years ago for an F1 race, sounded like massive bees going by. Was fun!

I think these are the noisiest. 800 HP of raw unfiltered noise.
It was something to see in person after being a fan for so many years.

Was cool to see these cars and drivers up close. They drove around the track after the race to wave at the fans! Very classy I thought!

We booked a trip for the Phoenix NASCAR race next spring in August. NASCAR changed the schedule so we are now there 2 weeks early, can't change...

I kept waving at Patrick but she never waved back.. We had a garage tour package for Sunday morning and hoped to meet her but even though we left 2 hrs. early we got stuck in a 2hr. traffic jam and missed it.

Thats to bad about the race.

No we were in Phoenix. Yes it was a great time. Esp. the VIP section my son bought passes for. They were bringing out free food faster than we could eat. Not to mention the beer was free.

Only problem with that section, it faced the sun, unless you sat up in the booth. We sat trackside for all three races and it was 30 everyday. A little to much.
