1. Irrelevant -- there are more people wanting to join than leave
2. Change happens (including global economic ones), with or without a promoter's fee.
3. Areas without a racing/motorsport culture are doomed to failure barring subsidization by the government/royalty, with or without a promoters fee.

As long as number 1 remains true, it would be idiotic for bernie/F1 to not get what they think is a fair market fee for their commodity.

I'm not sure I'd trust a website that lists "New Jersey" as a country...

Does this mean they're removing one race or is this one just being added?

We dont even know if its official do we? Quite often these things dont come true

Very true. I can't remember where I saw it but there are talks that the New Jersey GP is going forward now as well. It ain't over until the fat lady sings.....
