we could travel the entire length of the country in about 1/4 of that.

ok what does this do for your perception...

my trip to the Moto GP race at La Guna Seca....

one way drive = 2808.60 Kilometers

It would be based in the south of the island near ronaldsway airport.
Problem is there aint enough beds.

i can't see the point of building a circuit like that on the island.

it's too small - it's hard to get too - there's nowhere to stay when you get there.

the only thing that makes the IOM TT exciting is the fact that it's not safe - in fact it's very un-safe. I've said it before and i'll say it again - take those dry stone walls, armco, telegraph poles etc and the circuit is boring, but as it is the riders are mental and make it an amazing event.

if that cicruit ever gets the go-ahead i'll pay for it myself.

My vote is for another US GP. At Willow Springs California.

If we really must have a second USGP it should be on the east coast, no point having two in California.

yeah one in Cali is enough... Road America would work IF they would spend the money to upgrade the track and make it safer...hell even the AMA guys complain bout the safty..let alone GP..

Miller Motorsports Park is the best choice... and the track rocks balls...
according to Neil Hodgson and a couple other former GP ryders it has the feel of the Losil track..and the front straight is over 1 mile long..

Agrees with Miller...We should have one GP on the West Coast(Laguna Seca), nne in the Mid-West (Miller), and one near the East (Barber) and I will be happy. No, wait a minute, I'm moving to Europe in a year. Screw that we need some more in Germany!!

Oulton Park, (Just cuz its 30 mins from me really)

Not a bad track all the same....

I'd like to see Autopolis on the callender, but that's a pipe dream too. Honda will never let the Japanese GP be held at a track that they don't own

Numbers say Europe, money says some rich as hell city-state in the Persian Gulf. I think another USGP would be good, Miller sounds awsome, but as long as the Yank motorsport masses are ignoring MotoGP in favour of NASCAR, Dorna will ignore them in favour of MotoGP's masses of fans in Europe/handful of fans with stloads of money in the middle east.

I'd prefer to call it the graveyard of motorcycle racing.
