Now maybe if they would actually put their money where there mouth is and make a portion of the track inverted, well, that I'd pay to see.

Sht, I must've been raised on a track then, Honduras's roads are mostly dirt roads. No wonder it was so much fun when my dad would send it on his dirt bike whenever he would take me for a ride.



A lot of people do it for the same reason I still watch F1; habit, tradition. F1 has always been all about the money, or at least pretending you have it if you attend after you just paid an average month of rent/mortage for 1 day of either FP, Quali, or Race Day.



For safety, that would never happen. I think we have rally for that. Now, bringing back the V10s or V12s, now we are talking.
