Answer 1

Indy will suck for the Gp

barber motorsports park is a far better venue

they complain about cost then why not have laguna and indy back to back?

Answer 2

Cheryl, Nice job. Thanks for this. I have always wanted to see a MotoGP event at Germany's Nurburgring. It's an amazing course, exceptionally long (13 miles around with 73 turns!!!), perfectly put together with super long fast sweeping straights, and perfectly cambered curves that you barely need to throttle back on. High -Speed!!! The location is as beautiful as any track in the world as it cuts thru the lush mountain passes. I am attaching a map and a link to a page of great photo's.

Enjoy the rest of the 2008 season, gang! It's should be an awesome finish!

Answer 3

Hi Cheryl H,  I think the number of rounds is about right around 18. when you add the winter testing, its a long season with a lot of travel.

I know we go to Japan's Montegi circuit But I would like them to do Suzuka too. Maybe Back to back then i would have the motivation to finally go there.

I'm also eager to see how they get on with the eastern Europe sites. and I think they should go to India or Pakistan.

Answer 4

Nice to see Hungray back on.

Looks like for 2009, its a short stay in Germany, before a quick flight back to blighty for Donny Park.

What a 14 day trip that will be !!!

Answer 5

Hey! Thanks for the early notice on when the races are!

yeah, the track in Turkey was a good one. It will be a second year without it. If there was a race there, I would have probably gone but.... that as well means that I could go somewhere where is more fun, right? :)

I can't wait for Brno! I hope the summer break brings only good things :)

As for the rounds... The more - the better. The more races there are, the more fun i'll have ;)

I would love a circuit in Bulgaria, that would be a good one, but I do think the tracks that are included are the best of the best!
