IMS is playing the predictable hardball. Lawyers are in a frenzy.
There have already been suggestions that IMS will demand some kind of compensation from Bernie Ecclestone and FOM. It’s inevitable that fans will ask for refunds, while next year’s ticket sales will also take a bit hit. The worst case scenario is that F1 will not be invited back to Indianapolis.
Tony's going to 'uninvite F1'? I'm sure BE is shaking with fear. Well, the IRL does have Danicle, that's an ace in the hole boys!
“What occurred today was something we were not prepared for. We invested a lot of time and effort in preparing this property for a world-class racing event. The inability to have control over the actions today … to say it’s a disappointment is an understatement. Everyone here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway prides themselves on producing world-class events. The fact we had no control over what occurred today is our greatest disappointment.”
Where have we heard that before? :gomer:
