Hmmm. Bernie must be about ready to restart negotiations with Indianapolis. I can see no other reason why this "rumor" (aka planted story by Bernie) would resurface. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell of a race in NYC. That is a total non-starter. The entire notion is laughable. Gary |

I wonder why, when its so clear to all of us that these claims that pop out of Bernies mouth from time to time are total BS, he is seen as this business genius? ![]() unfortunatly. |

he's a genius because he's managed to take over the commercial running of this sport and makes sure his pocket benefits first and foremost over fans, teams and drivers. |

I;m not interested unless it is an actual circuit and not a city street circuit. Also I doubt that anyone in NYC is willing to be held ransom by bernie and his outrageous demands and fee's. The stature of NYC is such that they don't need F1 and would only do so if they please. Besides I also doubt NYC would be willing to build permanent pits and garages in the city for a race to be held once a year in one of the most expensive real estate markets in the world.
My guess, this is just tactics to entice Indy to up their offer. Fat chance on that Happening too. If Montreal, Germany & Spa can reduce their fees and host an F1 race then Indy will follow suit. |

Rather it be Vagas at nigth (not sure what will happen to the time zones with that) or around Mulholland Dr.
Rome coming with the supposed Russia and India knocking at the f1 door can't see f1 going to U.S before then, unless there was a American driver in f1 or some sort of United States Formula 1 team. |

I love NYC, but I wouldn't want to drive those streets in anything but a rental car or a taxi cab. So, unless someone comes up with the $$ for a MAJOR re-paving job, I don't see it happening there.
There are, of course, other locations -- many of which are closer to my house ![]() ![]() |

Hosted. Past tense. And it was CCWS not the IRL. The local sheriff was (and is) a real piece of work, making life very difficult for the organizers. On the subject I think both New York and Las Vegas are bad ideas to hold any kind of auto race. Every attempt from CART to NASCAR to crack the New York market failed. I just don't see it as a racing town... As for Vegas, it is a fun place but it doesn't need another attraction and people don't go to Vegas to watch races. |

Was a genius. There is no room for crass Bernie style "negotiations" in F1 anymore. |
