Default Bernie Take over Turkey! - 04-20-2007 , 01:41 PM








From Autosport:

"Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has said that Turkey will
continue to host an F1 race for at least the next 15 years, after taking
control of the Istanbul Park track on Friday."

What are we suppose to read into this? I don't get it - the Turkey GP
is only a few years old. Already this GP is in trouble? Is Bernie trying
to do a France Family NASCAR thing and buy the tracks F1 runs on to make
more money for himself?

Has the Turkey GP shown a profit yet? If this GP has not be run
correctly, with Oz saying they really can't afford the Oz GP anymore, with
Sepang always having trouble getting the locals to show up, I'm wondering if
there really is such a strong market for F1 in Asia and the Middle East
besides China and Japan.

Singapore looks like a good option to me;

There have been a few other names, India being one amongst them,
with a likely street race in New Delhi.
