GIVE US ELKHART!!! That is a great circuit, not to mention it is an hour
from my house... but it is also TOTALLY in the spirit of the times. The
track existed then and it is really the Spa of North America...

Thanks for the info.... I need to call my friend to see which are the
"middle of nowhere" tracks... obviously I erred on Hockenheim.
But am I right in saying Bernie's argument doesn't fly in respect to
Elhart Lake and other Euro tracks? (most of us know that Bernie's #1
motive is $$)

Magny-Cours is allegedly not far from the middle of nowhere. I've never
been myself but a friend who has says it's a nightmare. Also I don't
think the A1-Ring is close to any major cities or airports.

Good luck...!
I'm visiting Spa and Silverstone for the GP's this year which are OK for
access. Although if things go right and everything falls into place I
will be at Sepang too :-) Hope that'll be OK....
