Brazil Circuit 'needs improvements'

[happygoron]

Apparently major changes will have to be made to keep the race after 2014.

The circuit there is another that is one of the best on the calender, why move everything? The run up the hill then past all the grandstands is one of the best sections in f1 in my opinion. The only think I can see is that the pit lane entrance looks a little dangerous where the barrier starts.

Whilst Monaco remains on the calendar, I find it laughable that other circuits have to upgrade to meet Bernies avaricious whims...

"Thailand expects to win the rights to host a grand prix from 2014, according to the governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand, Kanokphand Chulakasem. "Our discussions with [Formula 1 CEO] Bernie Ecclestone have gone smoothly," he said. "The race might be held at night to accommodate viewers in Europe and help earn more in sponsorship." He said the rights fee would be about 1.2bn Thai bhat (£24.5m) annually."
