Indy Turks and Caicos GP

Get with the news guys. Instead of bashing Champ Car, which all you guys seem to know how to do, your League is having huge announcements. First the wanting of a takeover of CC by Big Tony, and now this. Sheesh!

Sounds like the next SUPERPRIX, and bound for failure.

From their web site:
"Number of Tourists: (Approx) 200,000"
This must be annual. If you figure the average stay is one week, that works out to 3800. Which sounds about right considering...

"Number of Condo/Hotel Rooms: 1362 Luxury Condo Rooms, 688 Hotel Rooms"
That's 2060 rooms for 5000? people total. However that's for all of T&Cs 6 islands, a lot of them are 30-50 miles away and over an hour travel by boat or plane (no roads). There can't be more than couple hundred rooms in the Blue Hills area. The race teams crew & officials would probably fill the place. I can't imagine how this race is feasible, let alone profitable.
