Good day and welcome to the Great White North! Beauty, eh! Let's hope Crash can make the scene. No matter what you think of AGR, you have to at least respect their promotional side of the ledger.
ReplyDeleteTHIS SUCKS !!!
ReplyDeleteStreet Courses suck.
and Toronto is among the worst circuits in the world.
Dear anonymous,
ReplyDeleteSay what you really mean. Don't hold back. It's not good to subdue your emotions. =)
That said, and I've said it before and I'll say it again, anything that benefits open-wheel is a good thing. Given that the Toronto deal is good for open-wheel, then, as Martha would say, "it's a good thing."
Yep, it's a good thing. A mix of oval, street, road... bring it on. More races the better. I can't get enough since the unification.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, Vancouver was one of the worst street courses ever in terms of drivability, but always wound up being an exciting race. Ditto for Surfer's. Toronto is actually a very good course, not as good as St. Pete or last year's Las Vegas track, but it is a big race and needed to be yet. Some Ontarians wanted Mosport, but there was no chance of that. Will there be a Canadian other than Roth though?
