Knowing how the Chinese can erect grandstands in short time working around the clock, I can't see this as a problem.

Hopefully they'll check the drains in the track, this time

**PVaQlNaP** · 08-07-2007, 11:58 PM

Is the track still (literally) afloat?

Listen if they need a couple of extra hands to help them on the rebuild, so long as I get a couple of paddock passes and a place to sleep then count me in

Wasn't at Shanghai, that a drain cover opened on a curb, a couple of years ago during the race?

That's true, in the such hard rain each race has the same tendency on diabolical drainage.

I was just afraid because I think Beijing was the most not ready to host any single championship for its crowded, narrow, badly asphalted.

Yes, it happened at the F1 race and the Australian V8 Supercars F1 race a few months earlier.

at the A1GP race at the streets of Beijing manhole covers on the roads were dislodged, same thing happened at the DTM race at the streets of Shanghai where F1's safety car driver Bernd Maylander crushed his DTM mercedes on a dislodged manhole cover.

It has happened on other street cicuits as well, over the years.
