Hockenheim next to go

It seems Hockenheim is about to go bust -- Of the contributing factors one of ther bigest is Bernie has a clause written into the contract between his Formula 1 managagement company and the promoters that that fees rise by 10% every year ----- nicely little earner to put it mildly.

i dont see how f1 alone can make any circuit go bust, the circuit owners could surely decide not to host any f1 races and stick to other series. Surely theres loads of other stuff to earn money from?

Not a great loss since they wrecked it a few years ago. made it like a kart track!!!

I used to love the sight of all those cars jostelling for position at around 200mph ,when they headed off into the woods.

You could watch that and think "yeah those drivers are earning their money today!"

F1 cars on the old circuit was something to see, they wasted the place with their attempt at "modernisation"!

Having had dealings with the little runt, I can assure you he has only two things in mind, Money and himself, anything else including F1 has no f*****g chance. Urgh! nasty little toad. (Rant over, I'll climb back in bed).
