FOTA starts a breakaway series

[xpensive]

A contract fought out in court between an S&M lawyer and a used car salesman vs Toyota, BMW, Mercedes and FIAT?

Yeah, right.

[timd]

Now we just need Ron back and things are getting better

Plus Ferrari can afford going to court and lose.[/quote]
Even if they lost in court... after years of litigation and appeals, what will happen if Ferrari, McLaren, Renault or any other team lose?

[Giblet]

guess we need to change the name of the forum too. no longer F1 .....

I believe Ron Dennis is directly involved in FOTA... in spite of being booted from McLaren's race team.

Welcome back Ron!

[xpensive]

And if not, he should be back, together with the 100 MUSD stolen from him.

[paused]

Not to get ahead of ourselves, but any predictions on where we would have racing if this were to go ahead?

You would have to count on

Silverstone
Portugal
Canada
Spain
Italy
Germany

These are the no brainer circuits or countries

On top of that we would probably see

Japan (Fuji)
Aust ???
Somewhere in USA
Holland ??
Austria

Any other guesses?

Nothing. That was my point. It's only about Ferrari though. Others have no obligations as far as BE claims.

What does Ferrari have to lose? Let's just say Ferrari decide they are obligated to compete in FIA F1 in 2010. All of their competitors are in FOTA and racing in FOTA F1. So they leave FIA F1 as champs. DUH! Swift move.

Hey paused, get the load of this: Monaco, Silverstone, Hockenheim, Magny cours, Estoril, Spa, Montreal, Indianapolis, Long beach(!), Adelaide, Suzuka and...Road America!

[Afterburner]

I said on other thread that FOTA and Ferrari wheren't bluffing about making a new series, finally they've done it! F1 was the FIA biggest sponsor for years and now they've lost it, Mosley won't resign but he should because he was the main target of the FOTA and the responsable of this historic day. I'm sure FOTA are ready for a long battle in courts, i just hope that won't hurt them.

Do you think when Ron stood down he said to max
" If you destroy me now Max i will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine"

heh sorry could resist. Evil emporer and all

I'd rather see them race at Elkhart Lake.

MrM to simply resign? There will be Nuremburg trials to sort this out.

Sadly, I think all of the current tracks would be off limits. Hence no Spa or Suzuka. Monaco is a hard one to know what options BE would have. It would be great to see GPWC (or whatever it is) at Algarve, Portugal so I think that would almost be no.2 after Silverstone.
