Could be interesting. :wink:
We won't get to see the actions though. The cameras will be swiped immediately 8)
Could be a problem. I would love to see the headline.... "Bernie does the the Bronx"

I like the way you think.

I believe Las Vegas is the only place that will attempt to afford hosting a GP. There was talk a few years ago about building a major road course adjacent to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It could still happen. Vegas has enough hotel rooms and an international airport (a major problem for Laguna Seca and Road America).

There has been talk of street races in Miami Beach and New York City. :x

Another track I think would be a great track for Formula 1 is Sonoma (Infineon Raceway) in Northern California which hosts one of the few IRL races on a road course.

Bernie is too greedy for most of these race tracks. He has found that it pays better to bamboosle some American city into hosting a street race. :evil: :roll:

Yup, Bernie has booted the two countries most involved in motorsport growth out of F1 :cry:

There's a lot of Asian money out there to boost his coffers.

Perhaps Las Vegas. The others, as you say, would never match Bernie's $ standards.

Too true I am afraid. The F1 spirit is slowly dying along with them tracks. It wouldn't really surprise me if he gave Monaco the boot in favor of a Tibetan GP some day.

BTW don't get me wrong. I like the new tracks and all. It's just that the new ones do not exactly reflect the sport, I think. The old ones, along with all the good points as well as their flaws, are special to me.

At least the time difference would be more manageable :)
