I never thought I'd see F1 and Alabama in the same sentence in my life.

It can be used by F1 someday, when it is built.

I haven't seen any pigs flying, have you... That's the only way I can see Alabama hosting an F1 event.

I been to Alabama not a place for F1 at all. Alabama is all about Stocks cars and that is it. I think it just Dale Earnhardt Jr whating to have a F1 event because he a big fan.

The track looks pretty nice, it reminds me of the old Silverstone, the fast one.
Are there alligators in the water ?

Oh dear, this could be bad! I seem to remember a few nascar races that ended with fans throwing stuff over the fences because there wasnt a race to the finish!
Can you imagine trying to explain to a bunch of yeehaws a 40second gap to 2nd place after only 70 laps when thy're used to 5 cars scrapping for the lead after 300 laps! Not to mention the concept of right turns!

Here, let me explain... Oh wait, I see your Irish. Not much point if truth be told.[/Sarcasm] The track looks good and is located in a really nice part of the country. Even if the locals don’t follow F1 I would think a lot of the crowd would be from out of state and os visitors. |

Mobile is on the Gulf coast, a short distance from New Orleans and a short drive from the Gulf Coast of Florida. It is not too far from Atlanta, a rapidly growing and increasingly cosmopolitan city and home to Don Panoz. Frankly, the stereotypical comments about Southern yahoos are beneathe this Forum.

Thanks for locating it for us mate ! I really thought (by the comments) it was somewhere near in the northwest near Canada...

Actually Bon, with the rise in afluence of the Latin-based market circling the Gulf of Mexico, it puts it a short flight from Columbia, Northern Brazil, all of Mexico, and Miami. I think it makes a lot of sense as alocation as well as the fact that the weather is warm for 10 months a year.
As plans go, I think the road racing track looks good, but I am surprised that the paved oval is so short, a mere 7/10's of a mile or a tad longer than a kilometer for all you metric sorts. |

It looks like an overtaking free zone for F1.

Sorry I didn't mean any offence. It was meant to be satirical.
N.B. Sorry Mods, I think my apology caused more problems than the original post. I will stop apologising now. |

Check out the actual website, there are two distinct schemes for two different sites.
You can see them here. http://www.alabamamotorsportspark.co...siteplans.html |

The Baldwin County version of the Road course reminds me of Miller Motorsports Park, 2 separate loops joined together on the Start finish line and a parallel section of infield circuit.
The Pritchard site looks to be a similar concept for the road course as well |
