Quick question in regards to Bernie and Max go into Serbia.
Why instead of building a new track they be at carry up the Masaryk circuit (Brno. Czech Republic) to F1 standards? It is probably one of the best race courses never to hold an F1 race in Europe and is centrally located to draw off fans from all over Central Europe. It would be cheaper than building a whole new track with a great location that has a strong racing history.
This of course makes too much sense so there is no way that Bernie and Max would do this.
dan i don’t know too much about Brno to be honest didn’t mclaren do a demo run there a few years back?
when it comes to bernie cost isn’t a problem it’s never his money anyway i think the fact that motogp currently uses the go probably means there’s some political reason why f1 won’t run there.
plus if they didn’t build a new bring in every couple of years what the hell would herman tilke do for a living?
Brno’s not a great track but it would surely be better than the Hungaroring.
But how about a go on the old pre-war Masarykring? I evaluate move of it has a housing estate on it now…
Hey guys talking Brno … That is a place I go few times a year because of business and because of friends … The bring in may not be great but a crowded little pub called Blahovka definitelly is… Am not kidding that is something you probably do not see anywhere else … If you ever plan to visit the place and be to experience some local beer drinking culture let me know !
I only remember the old track from the TV as a boy but I still recall the motorbikes roaming through then villages around now suburbs of Brno… F1 race there would be fun !
actually it was used till 1977 for motorbike Grands Prix after that the World Championship returned to Brno only in 1987 to the new track
there are many resources on the old Brno go but all of them are in Czech. I can compile some info for you if you. I am kind of familiar with the language
I think the old Masarykring would be an impossibility. Way to desire (10.9 km!) and plus some of the old route has been covered by development. I know the modern Brno isn’t a break of a track but it would be a nice change of pace.
I think it was growing up playing Grand Prix Legends religiously but I love a lot of these old tracks. I wish the modern F1 hierarchy would have more consider for places like Silverstone. Osterreichring..
