    LOL!!! A Grand Prix of Little Rock would make the surface of the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez look like a snooker table. ::laugh::

    Literally just about to post that video! Doesn't look too bad, I'd like to see what the track looks like when he's finished rendering it. Quite like the fact he crashes in the last corner, and those kerbs halfway through the lap really throw the car!

    The forest section reminds me of the Tokyo street track on Gran Turismo. Looks very fast though considering how close the barriers are, not sure it will look like that when they actually race there.

    A lot of long fast sweeps. Seems fairly wide so could be good for overtaking.

    just because America is big is no reason to have 2, both Russia, Brazil and China are bigger, have a larger population and probably have more cash too.

    America's population is nearly the same as Russia's and Brazil's combined, America's population is also more spread out than Russia's, Brazil's or China's. Plus America's population has much more disposable income than Russia, Brazil or China. America also have the most potential to really benefit F1 out of the other countries.

    1. Tell that to Spain.
    2. We're all assuming that Texas will actually be completed. (Hope it is though... only a hop skip and a jump away for me.)

    You would have thought that the country belonging to the driver/team champions would be awarded a 2nd GP (or they could nominate a circuit). That would be a nice idea.
