F1 returning to North America

Looks like Dipstick might need to make a trip to Montreal next year.

They need to bring it back to Indy, or go to Laguna Seca.

It will be interesting to see the USF1 Team car next year.

Laguna Seca would be fun, would be fun to watch those guys try to get around the corkscrew.

But Montreal's closer. Circuit Gilles Villenueve is a very technical course, and fun to watch races from the tee-vee.

I'd like to see F1 race at Watkins Glen (with the boot) or New Jersey's Thunderbolt course.

But what is up with that "no re-fueling during the race" rule??
I heard the commentators mentioning that during the last race... While Kimmi's car was in flames due to a little refueling accident....

Love love love F1. And thanks to me, my hubby is now a big fan too!
Too bad there's just one more to go ..
Though I am looking forward to seeing a brand new track!

Yeah, the refueling was part of the strategy that added to the race.
I used to be a big F1 fan, having attended 6 of the F1 races at Indy, but all the politics in F1 lately have lessened my interest.
Sportscar racing (ALMS, LMS, and GT) have become my favorite form of racing.

I ignore the politics of F1. Most of the time, the races are boring, but there are the select few that are very entertaining (Monaco, Spa, Singapore, Brazil, Nurburgring).

The sports car races (AMLS, Grand-Am) are amazing. The competition in Grand-Am is so close now, the racing is great. Love the sports cars.
