There are a lot more Chinese scattered around the world than Japanese I would think ..... the Chinese authorities should remember that when it comes to issueing visa's .
To be fair, there are more Chinese people to scatter in the first instance...

So far I've only heard about Lamborghini Super Trofeo drivers, but again, nothing confirmed. Will try to find out tomorrow - might as well go to the track already ;-)
Oh okay, maybe my random guess wasn't so untrue after all... Damn shame to be honest. Why they let Toyota turn up, I do not know.

Any team who has a Japanese driver who didnt get a visa , should pull out their entry .....

Sponsorship deals done , and possibily the driver cant race , brilliant !!!

If they refused Toyota (especially) or any other Japanese team in the WEC, I can imagine some consequences. They'd be foolish to do so.

You wonder if they'd do the same thing to F1.

Nope.

That would be not the first time that political debates and decisions are not rational-minded and getting out of control...

We will have to see how this plays out, but if they are denying Japanese visas for political reasons I can't imagine a Chinese race being on the schedule next year.

Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. Perhaps not so severe as to cancel their round. But that may happen.

Didn't they once cancel a Chinese round of IndyCar because it interfered with a wine festival?

I'd cancel it . Atheletes shouldnt have to answer for the decisions of a few mad politicians .
Give it to India or Malaysia instead , and let the Chinese think about it then .

If they replaced China, it should go to another round in Japan, say Autopolis or Suzuka.

You caught it! That'd really rub it in!

Looking at http://www.audi.com/com/brand/en/aud.../shanghai.html it seems the 'braking zones' are followed by slow speed (under 120kmh) corners favoring Toyota's instant hybrid release.

India has a massive market for cars ..... and , it might draw Tata/Jag outta the woodwork with a home round .

As of right now it says it's about 9:00AM in Shanghai, so in about 1.5 hours is when it's suppose to start.
