Why is the USGP on December 6th?! :gomer:

[Chaos]

more races, and less testing!

[ilferrari]

I would rather see more quality and less quantity. There should not be GPs in crappy countries like Bahrain when you don't have them at better European venues. I don't think there should be one in Turkey unless they sort out their human rights violations in Cyprus and elsewhere.

[RTKar]

With the empty seats I saw during the televison broadcast from Germany, why are there two GP's their when so many other venues seek a race?

[Dirty Sanchez]

The attendance in Germany is very good. Both are guaranteed until at least 2007. I think one of them is confirmed through 2009.

Don't believe what little you see on a broadcast.

The crappy countries remark is just silly :thumdown:

Why is the USGP on December 6th?! :gomer:

A subtle hint to Tony George that it will be a cold day in hell when IMS gets a contract renewal?

Why is the USGP on December 6th?! :gomer:
B3, that's June 12. In Europe and most of the other world for that matter switch the date with the month when written out in numerical order...

So if your birthday is March 5, 1977; then your birthdate would read 5/3/77.

For what it's worth, here would be my ultimate Grand Prix schedule...25 races, yes, 25 races are on the schedule.

Argentina (Buenos Aires) - Still a popular sport in Argentina
Brazil (Interlagos) - Greatest recent tradition
South Africa (Kyalami) - There's talk of rebuilding the great track
Spain (Jerez de la Frontera) - As long as Fernando is racing
San Marino (Imola, Italy) - No explanations needed
Europe (Nurburgring, Germany) - Still good venue
Netherlands (Zandvoort) - Rebuild track and they will come
Monaco (Monte Carlo) - See San Marino
Canada (Montreal) - Ditto
Mexico (Mexico City) - Remember Mansell-Berger war in 1990
United States (Indianapolis) - Fuuck TG
Russia, Turkey or Sweden - One of these places would be great
France (Magnycours) - Great place
Great Britain (Brands Hatch) - A return here would be fantastic
Belgium (Spa) - Next to Monza, the best
Austria (Ostereiching) - A return would be nice
Hungary (Hungaroring) - Still a good track
Germany (Hockenheim) - Ditto
Portugal (Estoril) - They test here so why not a return?
Italy (Monza) - The best
Asia (Bahrain) - If you have to race here, badge it the Asian GP
Malaysia (Kuala Lampur) - Exotic enough for F1
Japan (Suzuka) - The third best course
China (Shanghai) - Just don't call it the Mao GP
Australia (Adelaide) - A return here would make it the best street course

What do you think?

United States (Indianapolis) - Fuuck TG

What do you think?

I think IRP would require too much modification. Let's move it to Mid-Ohio. What?
