I just think this is so bloody awesome that we should see "Rally 1" sometime in the future.
 
Didn't they try that once? (Group B)
 
They tried, it worked, it killed folks. So it got banned... But then again, drivers died in F1 those days, too.

Now, it's time to re-merge them :D
 
I agree

Bring Back Group B!

So if Kimi wins again 2009 will have a GP of Finland?

I'd certainly like to see one. Chances are you'll get a second round in England because of Lewis Hamilton first. Though according to Wikipedia (worst source ever), there's going to be another ten in 2011 that are in negotiations: United States, Czech Republic, Russia, Portugal, South Africa, United States West, Poland, London, the Netherlands and Mexico ... none of them have any citations and the article adds a line suggesting there will be even more: Austrian, Morocco, Argentina, Switzerland, Greece, Egypt and Paris. Again, no citations.

If you add all of those to the current line-up, you get about forty rounds. As much as I'd love to see a season like that, it simply couldn't be done (unless they have one a week with 12 weeks' break at the end ... and I don't think 12 weeks is enough to build a new car).
 
Do you race?

Kyalami FTW!

A1 Ring FTW!

Close-to-home GPs FTW! (I could get to Egypt in a few hour's drive, or Greece for a cheap one-hour flight :D)

I also support more races in American time-zones. Brazil, Argentina, Canada, US, Mexico (bring it back!). I get them in a comfy late evening-time :D
 
Yeah, but have you heard any news of them being introduced?

The A1 Ring - or Red Bull Ring as it's now known - probably won't be seeing action for some time. Red Bull went and destoryed the pit building when they decided to upgrade the circuit, complete with a new extension, but environmental lobbyists protested and brought the project to a halt. That was some time around 2002-ish, and nothing has happened since.
