F1 Fanatic’s Post of the Week
Indianapolis – Goodbye F1, hello MotoGP
Great post from The Fastest Lap on how F1 priced itself out of the market in America. They reckon it will cost Indianapolis Motor Speedway one quarter the amount to host Moto GP as it did the F1 race.

I wouldn’t sell Bernie Ecclestone a ticket to a NASCAR event let alone allow him to insert a single line in ANY contract. That man is a Cancer that can destroy anything.

The reason I completely disagree with F1 at Daytona, not that I’d mind the proximity of the event, is that a really bad accident involving Indy cars there in the 50’s resulted in that style of car being banned from racing there. That ban was since lifted for winter practice last year on the stipulation that the cars drive on the motorcycle infield, but I don’t think one-seat cars will officially race there anytime soon.
