Thanks for all the replies...

I personally can't stand Indy or NASCAR and I agree that it is more of superficial pleasure than F1 or IMSA. I grew up going to IMSA races with my father during its glory days and have just recently gotten back into racing since I started watching F1 this year (used to follow F1 back in the day, too). So, coming from an American who has access to 'circle jerker' racing in his home country, I say to you others out there in the world...be thankful that you have F1 so close to home. I just hope I can have the same sometime soon.

Quite frankly America doesn't deserve F1. Any country that is rabid about driving in a circle needs to be isolated as much as possible in case that particular disease spreads to other countries. Really, it's an embarrasment that the richest country in the world is run by redneck attitudes. F1 will never fly in America because it's too subtle. If cars can't run into each other ala bumper-cars...

Don't get carried away there most Americans really dislike Nascar and are not rednecks, but unfortunately they also throw all auto racing into that category. I think the appreciation for F1 is spreading since we now have had regular TV coverage for several years, wether or not we can properly host an F1 race in this country is yet to be seen though. If we ever get back onto the F1 schedule it needs to be on the west coast, to draw in more actual F1 fans, as opposed to people that have nothing better to do on Sunday.

Pretty stupid comment since they have Indy car also and even i know Nascar and Indy car run on occasional road courses.

Don't get me wrong i'm not a Nascar or Indy car fan at all i've watched Nascar and couldn't really get into it.

F1 is alot better and there's alot of US F1 and the Sport has a place in the US

oh and,

seen the score? Arsenal 0-2 Man Utd



Edit:

Concept of the US GP Car!

Wow how stupid are you? F1 is not huge in USA because there is no American presence whatsoever. People forget that nascar is as popular as it is today because CART died out. Ignorant piece of crap.

Are they what i think they are on the rear wing endplates?

The nose is great though...

Goodyear tyres too, which raises a point - has there been any talk of a new tyre manufacturer coming in? Can't say i've heard anything, wouldn't be surprised if no one is in the current climate though...

I'm pretty sure that currently the minds are made up to have one sole tire supplier for the foreseeable future. Bridgestone won the tender and unless they want to quit, I don't see any change coming.
