Well it's no more dangerous than Sao Paolo, or Detroit as far as that goes. I wonder what has spooked them?

Hey, GM feels Mexico's secure enough to have a bunch of their factories down there!
Stupid NAFTA... They don't have anything to worry about... It's the Audi teams that are the most likely to get ripped off. Last edited by Lee Janotta; 17 Oct 2002 at 13:51. |

I think the organizers will have to take security seriously if they want to have any race in the city.

Oh dear - looks like the ALMS will never come over to Europe then. Because it's, like, really unsafe to go anywhere these days. What a shame.

Surely with all their money they can afford to hire security. Lord knows they have enough unsmiling muscle boys guarding them from us at Mosport.
