Surely MotoScootoGP would be a better fit?

Nguyễn Đình Thi is a bit narrow for a hotter Monaco?

Dung is going to have to pay a lot of Dong.

Couldn't they simply start dividing F1 into divisions, like they do in almost all yank games. We'd have Asia/Pacific division and Europe/Americas division and the we could have play-offs at the end of the season. What a fking amazing show would that be.

This could be the first F1 race to held completely in a tunnel.

That'd be the beginning of the end, similar to what chase did with Nascar.

We'd finally get to find out if the theories are true, at least.

I think they dismissed it due to scheduling and the possible issue that in the Americas you would have 4 races (Canada, USA, Mexico, Brazil) but they may cannibalize fans from each other (esp Mexico/USA) and weather would be an issue for Canada early in the season.
