Well sitting in tec today during Electrical Magnetism Math’s, I got thinking about some tracks that are being built around the world.
- Sepang ( still count Sepang rather new)
- Shanghai
- Bahrain
- Turkey
With that in mind think of the countries that are currently building tracks or are about to start.
- South Africa
- Mexico
- Russia (building 2)
- China (another one)
- Dubai
- Las Vegas (are thinking about it, if street circuit isn’t approved)
- Switzerland (is fixing there old international track)
I know there are some others, but I just can’t think about them right now.
Now, with the way F1 is going, Street circuits might be banned except Monaco due to its history and some politics, but with safety issue and actual facilities for drivers, teams and the fans how does Albert Park compare to places like Spa, Hockenheim or Suzuka?
It doesn’t.
This is why I think our GP could be in some trouble in the next couple of years, yes I do realize that asking our great government for $400 million to build a world class motorsport arena is abit much but with the money they make from different fields coming here it would be a success look at WSID as an example.
Oh and I’m guessing it would cost a lot more then $400 million like Turkey/China/Bahrain due to the cost of labor.
Your thoughts on this?
