yup sorry, got carried away with my hatred of mediocre F1 tracks. Canada - whoooop!

O Canada

Yesssss! Montreal is a great town and the weather in the summer is fantastic. The circuit is great although it probably could use a few improvements it is an wonderful venue.

It's great news to have Canada back on the calendar but this price slash could result in CVC/Bernie losing lots more hosting fee monies because key circuits around the world will be aiming to get the cost of hosting Grand Prix' down to a more viable price, especially with FOTA's "racing at the best tracks" philosophy!

Was it Ted Kravitz who used to slate Canada? I can't remember the story. Something about him and security guards.

So?

Would Bernie/CVC be willing to drop prices to keep certain countries/tracks on the calendar or would we see more far east and middle eastern tracks that no-one attends.

He can do that only so much - FOTA will protest if their strategically important tracks get axed.
