I would have no problem racing on an oval once a year, but I'd still find it boring as hell. Honestly, I don't think I'd watch that race.ESPImperium wrote:I feel that if we were to go back to America, we should race arround a track that has all left handers. Yes i said it, we should go to an oval, our drivers should be more than able to compete on an oval. And i feel it would be something that the guys on the other side of the pond would appreciate is to see "our" guys on "theri" style of racing cuircit.
Also make a more complete form of world champoinship i feel.
I dont think that current spec F1 equipment could handle running flat out like that for hours on end. You'd probably most importantly need a whole different type of tire, different wings and suspension. Building all this stuff for a one-off race probably doesn't jive well with the current economic conditions. Plus all the testing involved... sounds like a nightmare.ESPImperium wrote:I feel that if we were to go back to America, we should race arround a track that has all left handers.

On the surface, it would be cool to see them racing at Daytona or Talladega. But I fear there's a huge obstacle, named Tony George. Right now, it would be a very good thing if the breakaway series gains the blessing of Tony George and get to race again at the Indy road course. It would be a huge accomplishment, and a blow to Formula One. But to be allowed to race at Indy, it would be foolish to attempt to race anything resembling Indy Racing league because that would make Tony George very unhappy. He would see it as an attempt at direct competition with his beloved IRL, and would not tolerate it. First thing that would happen is that Indy would stop doing business with FOTA.ESPImperium wrote:I feel that if we were to go back to America, we should race arround a track that has all left handers.

I have to repectfully disagree. Honestly, I think that NASCAR has been eating Tony George's lunch since the Brickyard 400 was devised. I dont think the IRL is in any type of competition with an F1 series, I think the IRL is in direct competition with NASCAR for strictly american oval racing dollars. They both race on almost all the same tracks, and as far as I'm concerned, NASCAR popularity explosion took off when the CART/IRL split happened.DaveKillens wrote:On the surface, it would be cool to see them racing at Daytona or Talladega.

honestly, i think that if the FOTA championships takes off, there will be NO F1-FIA championship.DaveKillens wrote: I wonder what Peter Windsor, Ken Anderson, and their buddies at USF1, oops, USGPE are thinking now? They just commited to a series where they proclaim they are a proud US company, yet... no races in the USA, and worse yet, their direct competitors enjoying racing in the USA. How on earth can they capture any US based sponsors? And if FOTA can lock up Indy and Montreal (which I believe will be easy since both tracks are disgusted at how Bernie conducts his business) then it will be near impossible for FIA/Formula One to regain a foothold on North America. Watch for USGPE to bail out, or sadly, fold.

Now that would be a truly spectacular race!Jersey Tom wrote:F1 on a short track would be hilariously amazing.
