I agree, also with the two locations - the so-called 'heartland' seems to be lost to redneck nasticar for the foreseeable future...
Maybe right-turns are too complex for them?

I always liked Watkins Glen and Laguna Seca, though I'm not sure how those would be as Formula One tracks.
Back in the days, the Glen used to be on the F1 calendar...

Mm hmm. Up until the late '70s, wasn't it?

1961-1980.

If Montreal comes back, I think the US GP whould be on the west coast. Not because I live out here, but because it makes no sense to have 2 F1 races so close to each other and thats what probably hurt the attendance at indy.

I vote for a night race in Las Vegas. There would be more than enough lighting

I think I would throw up I would like to hope F1 is more cultured than that!

What makes you think that? F1 is as decadent as Las Vegas - so, they'd be a perfect fit for each other

I'm not keen on any more night races or street circuits. Most Formula One fans seem to agree that the former is nice as a novelty. I suspect there is a similar view with street circuits as well.

Ayrton Senna: WDC 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991
McLaren: WCC 1974, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1998, 1999, 2007
McLaren: WDC 1974, 1976, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1998, 1999, 2008

I still say they should go to Walt Disney World.

They could promote it by asking the winner of the previous race what they were doing next, prompting them to respond:

"I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!"!

...

I'll get my coat.

The Frome Flyer: Smoother, Smarter, Calmer, Winner.
Jenson Button: Professor, Chauffeur, World Champion Racing Driver.

I don't mind street circuits as long as you can race properly on them. Singapore was actually alright for overtaking, whereas Monaco is not.
