How did dreadful Valencia secure a spot?

[sjn2004]

Possibly no British GP, Canada gone for a year at least (what a great track) but that dreadful Valencia circuit gets a spot every year? Why, its awful to look at and produces boring races. Whats the real deal with it?

Money.

Bernie + £ = F1 race

money. pure & simple as that is all Bernie is interested in. he doesnt give a toss about the sport, its heritage or the fans.

the sooner he quits the better for the sport.

This photo of Bernie sums it up quite nicely

Canada's back next year, isn't it? And we will have a British GP (You think Bernie will not want to cash in on a British World Champion, I mean REALLY? Think about it!) As for Valencia, it's only been on the calendar for two years, third next time around.

Am I missing something about your original post, like, the point?

I think his point was that there hasn't been an on track pass at Valencia in two years. YYYAAAWWWWNNNN, boring!

Money.

Disgusting though, given that spankys beef with manufacturer teams was that they'd come and leave when it suited them with out any long term regard or respect for the sport, yet the troll is happy to brush away the sports longest supporters to we multiple races to a country that didn't even televise it a couple of years ago- then they got a champion, so now it's flavour of the month, which will last about as long as they have a sucessfull driver.

Bravo!

They need to get rid of this st track - thi is one I defo try to hav something else booked for, rcae myself, biking, gym, knitting, anything.

It is the worst ever.

Money. Its as simple as that. If I were a multi billionaire I could have an Anglesey Grand Prix. Bernie isn't bothered about racing on a great track if you can satisfy saftey, get a load of people there and pay the dwarf you can have a GP anywhere.

Except Angelsey is a decent track.

The only genuine overtake for position at Valencia that I can remember was Grosjean tiptoeing past Badoer whilst the Italian was asleep. It didn't really fire up any enthusiasm.

Swap it for Macau!!!

Sorry but you are wrong. Street tracks have the ability to produce some cracking races, just the same as purpose built tracks. The trouble is the people who design them.

Just get outside and do something when this st is on each summer It ain't going to change.
