That one contains words I don't know. (I know a bit of Spanish, and read Motograndprix.it to keep up with MotoGP news). But I think you're saying something along the lines of: I think that you are looking up your answers on a web site. And the rest is a bit of a mystery, sorry!

But Istanbul really flows, it's lovely.

So, I hope they drop Shanghai first if MotoGP goes to Indy next year. It would be no loss, in my opinion.

How could recommend an awful race like Sanghai to be dropped off ?

Istanbul had about 32,000 spectators last year, I didn't know Qatar and Shanghai have less than it, I doubt some 20,000 tickets sold out would cover the cost of hosting the race, regardless money from sponsors organizing the race event.

Don't know about Shanghai, but Qatar had 3,000 spectators last year. More this year, maybe in the 10s. The Commercial Bank of Qatar pay enough to cover the costs, I don't think anyone is worried about the income from tickets.

I think it's more the fault of the local race organizer socialize the event to local public, I believe Qatar bank and the government won't be worried about how to cover the expenses and how much deficit income from tickets.

I only didn't see 3,000 spectators could give sufficient spirit to the rider. :laugh:

I don't think that there's enough local interest to fill the race track. This year, a lot of British fans flew over to watch the race, so you saw a lot of "foreign" fans in the stands, but the local Qataris just aren't interested in motorsports. Fortunately, all that oil money has meant that there are a few rich Qataris who are happy to build race tracks just for fun...

Maybe they will someday, not now.
How do you see about facility and property equipped for Lossail, is it quite acceptable to hold international event like motogp?, in my naked eyes they are ready and eligible, they have what it takes.

Yeah mostly in the stands are 'foreign', I just couldn't see Qatar women on the seats :D

Qatar is a small nation, population about 800k, with that in mind 3000 locals is the same population percentage as the 140000 Spanish fans at Jerez

even if the people of Qatar do become interested in motorsports its hard to expect more than 8-10K fans attending the race

Your not bad at this well done my friend! :D

che il suo lotto per adesso ma bene fatto ;)

Btw, what languages being subject of yours other than English, that is good both of you can speak Italy.

I have ever learned Chinese but retired before mastering any words other than numeric, one of hardest languages, it has different letter for each word and syllable. Maxu must have been mastering in Chinese, learning a language in bed is the most effective :D
