The future of the Japanese Grand Prix has been thrown into doubt by Fuji Speedway’s decision not to host the race in 2010.

I can’t be bothered to try this game, but I live in Abu Dhabi and have seen a massive model of the complex. It looks sort of OK, not as bad as some would say, but not brilliant. I’ve was told that tickets are pretty much sold out (as of April) and that only crappy seats remain. The only way to get them is to buy them off someone, and as the worst tickets cost over $200, you will be ripped off. I won’t be going, and it will be full of the worst kind of cock, the ones who dont care about F1, and it looks like the season will be wrapped up by October anyway.

Bring back Adelaide, Imola, Paul Ricard, the old Hockenheim with it’s long straights (which idiot ever decided to shorten that track), Mexico and off course Montreal. Bernie should stop asking for this enormous amounts to host a race. They are killing the gold egg chicken.

Get all the divers to comment on their favourite parts of their favourite circuits, glue them all together and make a new track out of it. And put it in a EUROPEAN country, that has actual motor sport fans. As in NOT Turkey. or some miidle east oil rich millionaires play park.

F1 is so dull.

Too many rule changes each year therefore manufacturers never get chance to consolidate r&d.

roll on it’s demise – rock on indy/le mans etc.

Everyone questions the track design but since I live in Abu Dhabi and know the location of the track, I wander if sand and dust will be the major issue. We obviously have dust storms and even driving from Abu Dhabi to Dubai can be interesting in these conditions.
The track is located next to Abu Dhabi Airport pretty much in the desert and on some days visibility is dramatically reduced with blowing sand swirling across the roads.
Obviously the race is in our winter months but even then if the Shamal winds blow Abu Dhabi is covered in dust, this will surely affect safety and the performance of the cars.
The other thing is knowing the region I am sure the Hotel prices will certainly increas during the F1 race period, its not only a question of the cost for entrance tickets.
