2012 Season Preview

[Slyboogy]

It was morely wiseful thinking on my part. But still i think a few could well alternate though. Just hope that Brazil, British GP, Monaco and Canada will be on the calendar every year.

No Spa?????

No Spa?????

You know what forgot about old Spa. But yeah that one aswell.

Without derailing the thread we all know there is only one reason why Valencia is on the calendar.......

 

[Brogan]

I wouldn't take too much notice of this calendar.

It tends to get revised several times before the first race rolls around.

 

[Jos the Boss]

I do not care if its 25 races! I just hope the teams can handle it! More african circuits! South Africa circuit in Jo'burg and Ghana, Accra. Then the A1 ring/Red Bull ring along with russia. Calendar would look like: (in this order)

With 25 races there would barely be any time for pre season testing, it would be March-January pretty much

If your bring Austria back in you might aswell add San Marino aswell.

If you mean money wise I think you are wrong, Valencia don't make any profits, there was an article going round that they wanted to terminate their contract as they are making too much of a loss. Howeve I think they have decided to honour the 5 year deal...in a few years time, I can see this track being dropped...

If your bring Austria back in you might aswell add San Marino aswell.

As I much as I liked San Marino...it turned into a terrible circuit with no overtaking spots. But Austria? Like to see that back, and there was rumours that it might, so if it does, does that mean the number of races will increase? Or will decent tracks get dropped?

20 races is fine by me, anything over 23 is just ridiculous, but I can't see it happenening unless it's back to back grand prix weeekends.

I don't mean money slyboogy, I mean the certain popularity of a northern Spanish driver who is currently driving for Ferrari

I can see the month summer break been dropped if thats the case. But like others say you don't need to many GP's in a race season or else the quality will drop.

 

[mjo]

As long as:

• Australia
• Monaco
• Canada
• USA
• Britain
• Germany
• Belgium
• Italy
• Japan
• Brazil

remain on the calendar, I'll be happy.

"Never mind the quality. Feel the width" BE tryng to sell you oversized trousers.

Lol that one made me laugh. But yeah his wallets heavy enough as it is!

Is that what you say to people about your Afro?

 

[sportsman]

Its fine if your single with no family commitments.
Already I have to miss races, especially back to back events.Family commitments make those very difficult.
I was very happy with sixteen races.

 

[RasputinLives]

I think Bernie will stick with 20 races so what we should be asking ourselves is when Russia comes in for 2013 which track will go - but thats for another thread.

The Canada U.S double header is a joke isn't it? Surely that was mapped out by someone poor at Geography. Ahh yes America and Canada are next to each other so we'll only put a week between them. Montreal to Texas is like having a week between Korea and Spain.

In an age when F1 is trying to make itself look as green as it can surely the carbon footprint is the first thing they need to look at - i.e put the races in some form of geographical order so that the whole F1 circus can tour round the world not keep darting this way and that way

 

[MCLS]

Can't imagine it would do the drivers much good with constant plane travel, their jet lag / body clock would be horrendous if they were travelling every week to different time zones, could be dangerous by the time the likes of Brazil rolls around

 

[Jos the Boss]

Infact I think 25 is a bit ambitious we'll be ending at xmas time! which shouldnt be happening at latest 1st week of December. I also got too ambitious with ghana and scrap valencia 23 is enough.

 

[Slyboogy]

I see 23 is your magic number aswell concerning the races on the F1 calender

Even 23 is a bit...much...I think 18-20 should be the max

 

[mjo]

22 max.
