I hope to see the USGP back soon! Personally though, Ive never liked Indy as an F1 track. Of course the oval has a long history and all but the infield road course thing doesnt really have any character imo. Watkins Glen was great back when Mario was racing but I dont think it has the infrastructure to support a F1 race today. If there was something more exciting, like a street race in NYC or Miami, or even Hawaii lol, the europeans would love it!
Not a fan of rovals myself. Our best chance for a proper F1 circuit might be the Miller Motorsports Park in Utah. Good point you bring up about the money not being in this country when it obviously is. A strong factor to consider is determined people to keep it here. Many of the latest GP like Bahrian and Abu Dahbi are govt funded. We will never have that and we shouldn't. F1 should stay out of govt matters. I blame it to organization and Bernie's desire to get the highest dollar for every race.
