That earlier photo looked liked the cousin of Jabba the Hut...


Hopefully someone a part from Tilke will design the circuit...But I would rather have no GP then see many public workers/officials lose their jobs on the account of Mr.Slob.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Honestly not too sure if this will actually make an impact on the american audience. Racing and cars in general have pretty much been out of the mainstream consciousness of the American public as racing fans tend to be southern or midwestern nascar fans

You guys would be amazed at the number of NASCAR fans in northern NJ.

Most people I've encountered in this area have little to no interest in F1 at all.

It's either NASCAR or things like demolition derby I find. :roll:

You might also be amazed at how many of us enjoy road racing, if you took the time to show up at Walkens Glen or Limerock Park which are a short drive from NYC. These places are always packed. Just because you see NASCAR on TV all the time does not mean it is insanely popular in the area. Fox signed a massive deal with Nascar and they milk it for every cent its worth. Popularity has been going down the past few years.

If F1 and other road racing series could get better exposure you would be amazed how the masses would tune in.

I think this race will be a hit, even more so our board is discussing to purchase out one of the corporate lounges/dining areas at the event to boost our brands even further in the U.S

I hope it pushes forward and is approved by the FIA, I would love to see this as well as be on the top of the new Freedom tower!

As well as its a fantastic venue to promote business in the United States...I'm sure fans will jump on aboard as well!
