f1orlando 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2002 3 or 4 races a year that are on a rotating schedule?... There are a bunch of tracks in the world that should be used;i.e.Laguna Seca,Valencia,Assen,Motegi,etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jagman 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2002 hi f1orlando, welcome aboard! You know, I like your idea about having some tracks rotating every year and I would LOVE to see F1 cars at Leguna Seca, that would rock seeing them go through the 'corksrew'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daz 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2002 Couldn't agree more. That would be great. Especially a race at Kyalami. Then I might actually get to see a race on my own backyard... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nichosnz 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2002 I think its a great idea for the fans, good for the drivers too (whether they like or dislike the idea), it would have to be at tracks whose management could survive even without F1 though as a race every 2 to 3 years isn't enough to survive. Therefore the Cart, IRL, Motorbike & Sportcar etc tracks would be perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TotalF1 Jens 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2002 Laguna Seca would be fabulous, along with Long Beach and Assen definitely. Kyalami is a goner though, the track is being cut down to about 1.5 miles long and is not in F1 standards anymore.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sw4me 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2002 the corkscrew turn would definitely be gr8 but i didn't know that they cut down kyalami, i thought it was a good one, when did this happen? ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sato 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2002 i thin laguna seca would be great aswell as long beach and maybe even gold coast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TotalF1 Jens 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2002 The Kyalami news happened sometime at the end of last season, cant remember exactly... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nichosnz 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2002 We have a couple of tracks in NZ but unfortunatley we don't have the population to warrent, or the economy to afford making either of them up to F1 standards. So as Australia is as close as we get so it would be great if Surfers Paradise or Mt Panarama could host races as well as Albert Park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daz 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2002 Kyalami has not yet being modified and I doubt it actually will be for quite a while to come yet. That was just a rumour floating around towards the end of last year but seems to have being scrapped fortunately. It is also still up to F1 standards as once again it received its license from the FIA as an international grade track this year (as evidenced by the fact that it is a host for a round of the world superbike championship.) The only problem holding Kyalami back from hosting an F1 race is rasing the estimated R150 million ( About US $9.5million) that Bernie wants as an up front payment for bringing his circus to town.

nichosnz 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2002 That US$9.5 million is another hurdle to NZ even if some rich sod was willing to part with the money to upgrade either of the tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TotalF1 Jens 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2002 I think another east European round is needed alongside the upcoming Moscow and current Hungary races. Maybe Anderstorp in Sweden, or the Helsinki city streets track in Finland? Another city streets track alongside Monaco would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
