Hmmm, speed bumps on the uphill stretch, why?

Imagine they'll probably be removed for the race

Would be interesting to see if Petrov / Schumacher could set a new record for the amount of air and F1 car can get after their attempts this year so far

Can I vote in favour of keeping them there?

Race Control: "Car number 10 has left the track in sector 2"

Not sure what would've been worse, the brown trousers while in-flight or the sore bum on landing!

Schumi going into the back of whoever it was the other week and getting a bit of air was the one I had in mind.

I seem to have slightly sidetracked this thread

Re: the Merc flipping over, not dug through the web to find a year, but I think it was 99?

Skeeter · 26 Oct 2011 at 21:00

Yeah. 1999

Dumbreck flipped his Merc into the trees and Webber flipped his and ended up in the barriers at the end of Mulsane. I think they both happened in practice sessions before the race, and Merc withdrew.

India has a population 3 times larger than the US though who admittedly aren't as well off. Also though India doesn't have any other formulas does it? USA already has Nascar and Indy so there is more competition for bums on seats I suppose.

A lap of the New Jersey track by a dude with a camera on his dashboard. Some people in New Jersey could make a whole lot of money if they left tourists into their homes to see the race from some of the homes right on the track.

After watching that vid I'd say it'd be more entertaining to have that race round Stoke on Trent. They even have a (meir) tunnel.

Already a simulation of the track!

Looks like it has potential.

Sparky · 29 Oct 2011 at 15:01

Ive already put my name down to fly spares to this one.

I'm sure I can make myself fit into the hand luggage limits

Can't see most Americans even liking F1 in its current form, they tend to like their sports to be an anyone can win affair rather than a one man sport.

The race might be moved back a year to 2014 now - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/17738493
