  1. It's not meaningless. The F1 race is also an annual event. Thus, if the stadium e.g. has 2 events per year, you can divide the cost of the stadium by 2 when making a comparison to the cost of the F1 track. Note that he didn't say "cost per event" but rather "cost per annual event" [emphasis mine].

  2. ​@nightstorm16 It would make zero sense to ignore the initial capex because it's so large. I think if you converted it into an annual cost with, say, 5% interest rate it would still be larger than the running costs you mention. In any case, it doesn't really matter whether you convert it to an annual cost or not because what Wendover did was look at the ratio of the costs of the F1 track/paddock etc. and the Stadium. The result is in any case going to be the same unless the running costs large enough relative to the capex that they can noticeably affect the ratio.

  3. Maybe it's actually 400 Mm long.

  4. Well, you should've told him to release this at some other time!
