Bahrain & Qatar are necessarily evils, so to speak. But if we can have two ME races, there should be scope for a second NA round when the time is right.
Monkey's paw: The second NA round is Penske-bankrolled Indianapolis.

I think the only way we're getting a second US round is Indy and I'd rather have the income of ME round over that course. Could they get Montreal or Mexico City, maybe and better options. Don't think any of the IMSA options would be accepted, Road America or Atlanta could be good but won't be considered. Given the schedule it's likely to be a late summer or fall race so both would be very close to their IMSA event, R America is August and Petit October. Laguna Seca could be tough with scheduling and the state. COTA just makes the most FIA officials needs with garages, hotels, etc but dreary to watch
