repost from the racing section

but in response to it- I don't understand why a budget cap is such a bad thing. I agree ticket prices should go down, and we should get races here but ya

There should be a highly modified japanese sport car series.....

I believe there is a couple of those in Japan already.

Too bad, they don't broadcast here......why? I am sure a lot of people would pay to watch that.

I know I would! It would be like NASCAR for Ricers!

And that A! World League looks interesting to me as well.

Anyone who thinks F1 is dead has not been watching F1 for at least 15 years. It is far from dead. This is all posturing.

Let us take the element of sport out of the equation, shall we. This is what is called classic backroom bargaining and bluster. It goes on in all corners of the world, from governments to drug dealers, to street gangs, to CEOs, and yes...even the PTA.

F1 is not dead. People need to think before they type.

Incredible news!! Who would have thunk it that the grand daddy of world wide racing would develop an internal war just like cart and indy did years ago.

I doubt you will see this in NASCAR- know matter what you think about oval closed wheel racing they are very astute in their marketing.

Will wait to see how this all plays out and I just wonder if this could entice Honda back in as a manufacturer instead of sponsoring Brawn?

Thanks for the news.

15 years ago it was worth watching. Now, not so much...

It's been a long time coming, they've finally run the sport absolutely into the ground.
