Yeah, but it doesn't hurt to dream :D

I remember reading that once they leave Monza, there is a 3 week break between the next race - Turkish GP. This gives them plenty of time to drive the trucks over to Trieste, load the equipment on boats, and "sail" down the Adriatic sea and into the Mediterranean (sp?) Sea. Apparently, it is a very economical way of transporting the equipment, and more imporantly, it doesn't involve the use of airplanes. Maybe because the logistical nightmare is not as great as it is when transporting the equipment to, say, Bahrain, that they consider it an Eruopean track.

As an Asian, certainly I would like to have additional tracks in Asia, such as South Korea and India.

Also some tracks in South America is also a great idea.

I cannot understand why we have a GP called "European Grand Prix", this makes Germany has two GP, which I think is unfair.

I think you are confusing EU with euro?

Britain IS in EU, but they don't have euro. Sweden IS in EU, but they don't have euro. Denmark IS in EU, but they don't have euro. Finland IS in EU and they have euro. Norway isn't in EU, nor do they have euro.

Euro is just a currency and it has nothing to do with whether a country is or isn't a member of EU.

I know there are several opinions about what countries belong in Scandinavia, but surely you can't say none of them are in EU?
