Grandprix.com is reporting serious doubt. They expect two or three USA races and I can tell you that Surfers is NOT possible. Adelaide will struggle too.

I have serious doubts too, but it sure leans in the right direction.

Well, they sure as hell aren't going to do both Indianapolis and Road America. They might do IMS and Laguna Seca, though...

I hope RA is bright enough to grab this with both hands if they get the chance. Anyone organizing a letter-writing campaign to RA yet?

Indy and Barber are the only two US tracks I can think of with viable promoters that would meet the safety standards the GPDA would require. Also a necessity, Ferrari approved garages. F1 guys don't work under an awning next to the transporter like our series do.

Why? Both Surfers and Adelaide have hosted races in the last 12 months and plan to have races in the future. If Formula Tantrum is added to the program, then everybody just moves down a slot.

Mayor Ron is up for it. Link. (http://www.motorsport.com/news/article.asp?ID=333583&FS=F1)

Surfers have a 3 year contract with A1GP and V8 Supercrap. Gold Coast residents won't put up with another race up there. Adelaide residents won't put up with a second race either. There is more than enough whinging with one-trust me I lived there.

If they scheduled Barber in late July/early August, it might be worth the price of admission just to watch them dodge the blimp-sized 'skeeters in the rainforest-like heat & humidity.

I know those skeeters! The drone in like a squadron of B-19s and some of them float away like the Hindenburg.
