This just made my day. The circle of life between Nascar and wrestling is now complete

As nachos said, not only is Spa Francorchamps one of the if not the most beautiful track, the city is also recomendable. Have to mention though that it isnt a big city at all. More like small but cosy, right in the Ardennes.

^ It's only a little over an hour from Brussels, which is beautiful
And the beer in Belgium is fantastic

Some interesting points leading up to the season:
- Ferrari thinks Renault is sandbagging.
- Sauber/BMW have gone too radical with their car and now are facing a lot of problems.
- The McLaren designed/built ECU has a crucial flaw, which allows you to use a launch control configuration! HUGE in flaw!
- Super Aguri might not even race.
- McLaren will have some of the worst facilities this season due to their last place finish last year.
- Spain has two GPs this year because of Alanso's popularity. Also because of his popularity, the FIA have had to launch an anti-racism campaign.
- Ralph left F1 and nobody cared! :p

1) entirely likely, and why not? It's good strategy
2) give them time. Willy Rampf and that team will get their together
3) oops! At least it's only launch control and not full t/c (yet)
4) sad. Hopefully they get it together
5) it would be funny if they don't have room to park their giant motorhome/spaceship
6) this is bull (that they get two, not your statement). It's always been 1 country - 1 GP. ******s.
7) LOL! Now he's DTM's problem

Well not in recent history. Italy had two, and Germany had two, although in both cases, the country had one official race. Funniest thing is that he took away both of those countries second race for more international races. Then he goes ahead and gives Spain two. ing bull, I agree.

A scientific company rep walked into my office today and goes "you remember that competition of ours you entered? Well you won"
So i've got 2 tickets to the Melbourne GP now:D
Saw the F1s up close and personal at Goodwood last year, but this will be my first race.

Agreed. Sorry, I forgot to mention San Marino and the Ring. But the Ring > Hockenheim (esp. the new one) and San Marino is pretty classic itself.
Not that I have anything against the Valencia track...it will be great for fans since it's pretty compact.
At least he's adding a race in Europe instead of halfway around the world where they can't fill seats (Turkey & Bahrain)

one of the best movies of all time is on TCM right now -
Grand Prix
One of Frankenheimer's best films, and cinematography beyond it's years.
This was real Grand Prix racing - "When the drivers were fat and the tyres were skinny" - JM Fangio
