F1 wanna beezzz...

Spanning the globe

By land, sea and air, the IndyCar Series is en route to Japan for the Sept. 19 Indy Japan 300.

The 13,000-mile round-trip adventure has been a action point atop Bill van de Sandt's day planner since soon after joining the Indy Racing League in January as director of operations. The IndyCar Series will compete at Twin Ring Motegi for the eighth consecutive year.

No flames here; I live in Indy and have been going to the track for over 40 years. I’d love to see F1 return; it was without doubt the best event there. I don’t blame Tony George for its discontinuation. I think he did everything he could to accommodate that greedy little pervert ecclestone (dont ask how I really feel about him.)

I don’t think F1 should race on the oval; it’s not their game.

I’m ambivalent about a 2nd Indy race on the road course.

As for F1, I do have a scheduling idea that makes sense. F1 should not have more than 18 events per year. What they should do is have 24 sanctioned tracks, and do a four year rotation where each track gets a race 3 of every 4 years.
