For those of you interested; the new US Formula 1 team (USGPE) website is now up and running at www.usgpe.com (USGPE = United States Grand Prix Engeering).

Larry,

Not sure that will happen now that Tony George isn't in charge. Bernie wants big money and I don't think the powers to be at IMS would be willing to put that much up for a F-1 race. In my opinioon the speedway is probably the only venue with the seating and know how to pull off this race in the US at this point in time.

I'd love to see the USGP return to an up-graded Watkins Glen.

It could haver been the Australian open wheel guy who posts on here at times. He would be obliged to do that... he might be a Ferrari fan.

Larry,
I saw all but the last one at Indy and I enjoyed them, but I believe Mike is right in his above reply to you. It's a shame that the road course can't be utilized by a major auto racing series. The Red Bull GP motorcycle race doesn't seem to be going over very well.
