• US tracks fit for F1

  July 28th, 2010 | Nigel Roebuck | 12 Comments Exclusive

  

  Dear Nigel,

  With regards to a venue for the returning USA Grand Prix, would you rather have seen it go to:

  a) A new circuit built to modern Formula 1 needs with similar appeal to the classic American road courses (as we are led to believe the Austin track will be, and how Monticello could have turned out).

  b) One of the classic American road courses altered to fit modern F1 needs.

  c) Another street circuit.

  d) A return to Indianapolis.

  Chris Ward

  It was sad to talk last week with each of Derrick Walker (above), Paul Tracy (below) and Carl Haas. All three had tales of woe to tell about how the fallout from Champ Car’s demise has affected them. Walker’s team finds itself without the sponsorship to be able to race… Read more
