Bummer. If they're having trouble getting a track built in TX, imagine how hard getting paddocks built and roads resurfaced is in NJ. Unions, environmental impact studies, etc.
Montreal in '13 everyone?

Tilke and Ecclestone would gladly destroy F1 if it meant more money in their pockets.

Put a luxury sport in a 3rd world country, and expect huge attendance? Only in F1LandNot sure Tilke is to blame...just Big Turd Bernie..Tilke is just under contract w/ FOM when they need a new track built it seems. Regardless, it's fucking stupid. That picture Case posted makes F1 look completely pathetic...

It can work, see brazil.
Korea should have a race - they're really emerging as a global player, have a sizable middle class, becoming a powerhouse automotively - which means a passion for motorsport should be on the rise.
No excuses for Tilke. Though turn 1 at COTA seems pretty cool; maybe he finally learned something on the 12th track?

Formula 1's teams have been told by the FIA that they cannot run trick brake systems that react to temperature to improve cooling during races, following a complaint by Red Bull.
AUTOSPORT can reveal that Red Bull wrote to motor racing's governing body ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to seek clarification on the use of thermal energy devices within the air duct of the brake system.
The team contended that attempts to use either a bimetallic strip - which would change shape to open and close off cooling ducts depending on the temperature of the brake friction material - or a thermal actuator was a breach of the regulations.

Speaking of, has anyone posted the video on Drive about the Nissan Delta Wing car and how that thing works.I could never be an F1 engineer... I'd never think of something like this...

Shit is crazy, although it all makes sense when they way it. Skip to about 6:16 for the tech talk.

That was awesome...and I still have no idea how the Delta Wing works though, lol. The science part of it kind of twisted my mind around a bit.

It's only cheating if its ruled illegal, otherwise it's just "innovating".why can't redbull stop cheating
