I think my London F1 vids got pulled from Google when they migrated them all to youtube. London would have been a good political addition.

They'd have to fix a lot of manholes and patches.

Actually might be cheaper for Edinburgh to stage F1 now instead of finishing the "trams". At least the place would end up with nice smooth roads :-)

Just thinking of the track layout now...more later perhaps...!

Google Project Gotham Racing 1 on X Box (some moons ago now) which had an Edinburgh track. Was a decent layout with pretty good mapping of the location.

Central park was put forward as a location for a NYC F1 race in the 60's the map of the circuit looks amazing.

Bernie says that race X, Y or Z is under threat every 5 mins. Classic ploy when he wants to divert attention from something i.e. the current Bahrain fiasco.
