http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=35255 If Suzuka is lost from next year's calendar...Bernie had better allow there to be 2 Japanese races. Normally I would say that this shouldn't be allowed, but if Italy and Germany will have 2... |

Putting money for Bernie/Team Owners over the fans and drivers wishes..... shocked! shocked I am! <laugh> I hate 2 races in the same country, but if that's what it takes to keep one of the few real 'racing' tracks on the calendar, so be it. |

Whats the problem with Fuji? It's a good circuit, It's fast and technical too. It's a much better circuit than Suzuka |

Fuji is another Tilkedrome. It's too fiddly and has a bad infield section much like Indianapolis. Fuji in the past may have been good, this one isn't. Suzuka is much better. |

Valencia may end up getting the European GP. It's being extended/upgraded to bring it up to F1-standard. Or there may just not be a European race. |

You dimwit. Fuji was around before Tilke started drawing. Hunt won a world title there in 1976 |

Isn't there a clause in the concorde agreement that says circuits can't alternate |

The euro GP was brought back just to make the numbers up |

It's had a makeover since then. It is now a dull track. Search for it on racingcircuits.net I have driven it on GT4. Terrible track. |

I know, They've increased the radius of the first besnd and put a few chicanes in. I've seen it when they have raced JGTC. If you want a half decent circuit in Japan go to Motegi |

The current concorde agreement expires in 2007 anyway, and I'm sure if it suited Max and Bernie they could get their own way. They usually do, unfortunately. |

The Concorde Agreement also had rules about testing and engines and such <erm> They'll 'bend' it if it makes them more money. |

The straights aren't long enough for F1 though. They need to be at least 1km long for the cars to pick up a tow nowadays. |
