In the pit, all anyone talks about is how the new technical rules will shake out.

Kicking off a new era in front of that kind of crowd is the right call, not just a fine one.

228k people, does the venue even fit that many?

The area around Buriram's turned into a whole tourist spot, fun to go in person.

Bezzecchi winning right after his Aprilia move was wild, well, that was last year.

Same venue again? Kinda getting stale tbh.

Probably picked deliberately to match the new tech-rules era.

Thailand opening the season 3 years running is basically locked in now, love the atmosphere.
