Bulgaria After A Race

Bulgaria are after a race... Yes that's right you read it correctly... Bulgaria are trying to get Bernie Ecclestone to sign them onto the F1 calendar. Looks like it will be from 2011 onwards.

So us Formula 1 fans are going without a race in Canada, with the race in Belgium under threat and no grand prix in the USA. Looks like were probably going to loose the British Grand Prix too if Donnington plans do not come to fruition. So where is the F1 supremo looking to place another Grand Prix? Bulgaria... A land steeped in Formula 1 history - and heaps of cash obviously.

Oh please Bernie stop messing around with the calendar. Keep all the traditional tracks. Where fans actually turn up to watch unlike Turkey and most of the fly away races! How about we return to Imola? Instead of getting Hermann Tilke to design another characterless track.

Now am I just over reacting but I really think we need a nucleus of good fans races in europe, australasia, asia and a couple in north and south america. Don't get me wrong Bulgaria have got just as much right to apply for a race... and perhaps they will occasionally along with other nations host one but there was and should be a set of traditional tracks used. By Bernie making all these tracks around the world and dropping the traditional ones he is robbing Formula 1 of it's soul.

We all know why you do it Bernie... You do it to make huge amounts of money... How much do you need? Or are you just paying for your divorce?
