    Turkey GP..........

    ...........confirmed for the next 15 years

    Is this the longest contract Bernie has ever signed? Or is it just the small fact that he now rums the Istanbul circuit

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/6583387.stm

    Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has guaranteed the future of the Turkish Grand Prix for at least the next 15 years.
    Ecclestone has taken control of the management rights for the Istanbul Park circuit, which he calls the "best race track in the world".

    He insisted he would not make any money and called it his "worst deal" ever.

    But he said: "F1 needs to be in this part of the world - I am very proud of what has been built here in Turkey."

    Great news, the Istanbul circuit is one of the best in the Calendar

    I'm glad as its a good track, that gives them plenty of time to make it more picturesque : Why can't he sign a contract with Suzuka for this long?

    Personally, I'd like to see a GP in India. The population is immense, the interest would be incredible, the TV rights enormous, and the television adverts rights lucrative.
    When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

    Might be the next location of the Oz GP!
    Just kidding!

    Not a bad idea you have there, they are looking into it since a while but I believe they don't have the funds to build the track.
