@ChiSox219: "Experts warn residents of Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin to stay indoors while the feral European Prostitutes meretrix europa flock during the migratory F1 season. The foreign species was introduced to Elkhart Lake during the great NA F1 revival of 2011. The prostitutes attach themselves to the sheetmetal of cars, traveling great distances to mate with any other compatible species. This can lead to the empty wallet infection, or loss of marriage in the native species. The Elkhart Lake authorities advise the residents not to come into contact with any, and should someone manage to catch one, they should set it free at the closest church as soon as possible."
The rumors I have read say that it will be new Tilke track in the Coachella valley or perhaps in New York city. Coachella makes sense because it is near gambling and LA but they would have the run of the place and be able to build whatever they want.
NYC would be an awesome spectacle but getting all the bumps smoothed from the roads would be a nightmare.
Just so long as they don't try to race in a Vegas casino parking lot again, I guess it's OK. I'd vote either Long Beach or Road America. Or perhaps Laguna Seca.
Bring back the Grand Prix of Cleveland. We have coast (Lake Erie) and the track is awesome. With Champ Car dead, I want no part of that ratfucker Tony George's league here. F1 will fit the bill nicely I think. Turn those guys loose on the runways!
@Matt B: Road Atlanta does have a major airport nearby with lots of direct international flights though. I think Atlanta could probably cover SeanKHotay's HMGHBG too. Heck maybe they could run an ALMS race as a support race.
@MattP: Most of the track remodeling that Road Atlanta has done in the last 10 years or so has been to specifically meet FIA requirements for F1. Elevation changes are just part of the fun. Just put all the big wigs up at Chateau Elan down the road.

Actually, F1 is mostly as good as dead, so I will watch MotoGP full time anyways.

Why not use downtown for a street circuit? Businesses certainly aren't using those streets anymore...

(Las Vegas also has/will have CBGBs (aka CBGBOMFUG)...but that's a whole other-than-F1 crowd...'cept for maybe Kimi)
** HMGHBG = Hotels, Money, Glamor, Hot Bodies, & Glitz
Why not the others?
- Part of the IndyCar red-headed-CART-child brain trust (FKK?) owns racing at Long Beach
- Idiot son FTG will be too "in hock" subsidizing his Indy teams with all the sponsorship netted from the Versus TV deal.
- All cool tracks and great suggestions I'd like to see happen but VIR, Laguna Seca, Road America, Watkins Glen all lack or a huge chunk of HMGHBG.
(We ain't even mentionin' Deetroit. Unless...RogerP, what do you think?)

Plus their candy asses would never approve it as a F1 track. Elevation change? Concrete walls? In Brazelton, GA? MON DIEU!
