#4 Nonsense. The EU banned tobacco ads, that's why. F1 major sponsors are tobacco companies.

#5 Yeah, we'll see what happens when the Euro keeps appreciating, or when the 2004 Bahrain GP gets terrorized. Or maybe Bernie is even planning on living forever.

At the current time Spa is back on the schedule and Magny-Cours in France is off, but mostly due to financial issues.

Japan is on the schedule and at one point it was said that you could stage a whole season in Japan and have a different crowd at each race.

#6 I was under the impression that we in the US were more concerned with NASCAR and the CART (at least before it split into CART and IRL). In other words, the home grown racing.

Still, if there was hope of a Grand Prix race coming to Chicago we could get all the potholes fixed along Lake Shore Drive. :)

#7 Spa is back? and MC is Gone? Geez... I need to get my passports in order. I highly recommend Spa, espcially if you've never seen a train wreck.

#8 If they bring it to Chicago they can run part of the race on 39th Street past the old El-Rukn gang HQ. They could call it "Combat F1 Racing." Draw quite a crowd.

#9 If there were to be a second F1 race i the US it would have to be at the most appropriately named track. Road America in Elkhart Lake.

#10 As I see it, Europe will be part of the third world in 10 years, while Asia and America will be dominating the world.

All right, all right - I think we're getting a little carried away here. No way, no how, Europe is going to become part of the Third World. Whatever my occasional rants about Europe, it is still America's most dependable ally. In any life or death struggle, we will be fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with the Europeans, mainly because we share most (although not all) of the same values.
