I personally enjoy IMSA, WEC and Indy racing events more than F1. Way more wheel to wheel action. F1, I’ll watch from home haha. Though I went to COTA/US GP last year and they put on a great event there. One of my all time favorite circuits.

It's just the nature of the sport I suppose, I just get the impression F1 overhypes and over-charges for these events relative to the perceived entertainment value. Miami definitely seems like one of the most shameless cash grab races.
The NFL doesn't translate well in real life either. I've gone to LA Rams games in the season ticket holder section and it still feels too far from the action. Also gone in the 100 level, but the field is just too large to watch the game closely. NFL is best on TV
I will still certainly attend at least one F1 race eventually though, likely at some European circuit. It's just something you gotta do, like catching a Knicks game at the Garden or Lakers at Staples center.
