Default Suzuka gone after 07...

I hate Bernie. That's a classic track that some of the best racing has ever been done on. Hell, just last year...

And now it's going to Fuji? Argh.

Dont fret just yet, Fuji gets 07 race as new home of Japanese GP, But they are working on getting a second Japanese held GP (At Suzuka) maybe call it the asian, or pacific gp.. like in the past. Zuka wont be gone long.

And if Toyota pulls out because they can't get the job done there is even more reason to move the Japanese GP back to Suzuka...

It's a shame really -- Suzuka, Spa, Hokenhiem, The Ring all in doubt because of money. And Suzuka really is more about greed then it is not being able to afford the race...

Isn't the Ring a bit of a safety concern too? It's getting harder and harder to find existing tracks (or modify existing tracks) with enough runoff for the speeds generated by today's F1 cars.
