Way to go Wesley- i’m in that same situation, perhaps we can work out a deal with him together!

In any event, i’m optimistic that the USGP will return to the lineup in the near future. If it dose not, i’m considering trying to head up to Canada for next season’s race. Can any of the longtime fans on here who have recently attended races there give me an idea on the cost estimates of seeing the event? I’m on somewhat of a budget and just can’t ring up the costs on my credit card, so whatever insight you have would be more than welcome.

And finally, here’s to the return of the USGP in the near future!!

Having been to the race in Montreal, I can tell you that it’s really something, and many drivers say it’s their favourite weekend. Having a race in a city makes a huge difference, and Montreal has a real cosmopolitan and European feel to it. The whole city comes alive for the party, with a colourful mix of petrolheads and the “beautiful” and rich.

I also don’t think Bernie would go beyond threats when it comes to Montreal. He still needs a foot in North America.

I’d like to see the US gp in San Fransisco, if they can find any streets flat enough.

I think it’s doubtful that the Canadian Grand Prix will get the axe, as Bernie would get massive earache from the manufacturers if they weren’t represented in North America at all.
Also, hopefully Max’s cost-cutting devices will not only attract more manufacturers, but also more self made billionaires willing to do F1 independently like Vijay Mallya and Dietrich Mateschitz (yes I did spell it right). How about a Bill Gates Force USA F1 team – the man can surely afford it, and it would bring the US Grand Prix back too.

As a Canadian with a wife who is French Canadian from Montreal, I can really say that they love their grand prix. The provincial government really won’t hesitate to do what they can to keep this race and prevent Bernie from breathing down their neck.
