Racing should be decided on the track, not the court room.

I won't believe it can be any worse than Valencia GP until I see it. [-( Any links?

I have nothing against the beautiful Indian people's GP but do they really have to move all the races to Asia and Middle East? What's next then, the first Israeli GP?

No doubt India and the Asian continent has massive potential but I can't see this going anything other than badly, or at least, boringly.

On a side issue I can't even believe Abu Dhabi is going to be the last race of the year for 2009.. #-o

You know I wouldn't be surprised. Or maybe Iraq? Russia? Korea? They could happen.. 2017 or so?

The races will follow the money. It's not inconceivable that we'll someday see just 3 or 4 races in Europe (a "European GP, + Italy, Germany, and maybe one more?); 2 or 3 races in South America; no races in North America; and the rest in Asia and the Middle east. Iraq, Russia, and Korea could happen long before 2017 -- 2012 sounds reasonable. It all depends on who will bend over for Bernie. (Calm down Max! I was referring to race organizers and sponsoring countries!)

This is the site where the track is gonna come up . It is gonna be about 5Km long .
But what worries me more is the fact that Jaypee Group who are constructing the track are not dependable enough.These people were in charge of renovating the Delhi international airport ( I live in Delhi).There were numerous delays , and the quality of work done is also quite pathetic . And the proposed site has a lot of law and order problems . And Indian officials are quite confused what is gong on .

[-o< I pray to god that this should not be a disaster

And yes as pointed out earlier this will generate them a lot of money :|
