View Poll Results: Where will the WEC US round 2017 be held? | |||
Circuit of the Americas (early September? with PCW?) | 17 | 36.96% | |
Indy - plenty of history and, more importantly, plenty of run off | 6 | 13.04% | |
Montreal - close enough to the US border and would serve US N-E audience very well | 8 | 17.39% | |
Road America - the only right choice but lots of 'upgrading' to do to please the FIA blue blazers | 7 | 15.22% | |
no US (or Canadian) round at all - the WEC doesn't need a race there anyway... | 6 | 13.04% | |
somewhere else in North or South America (Brazil???) | 2 | 4.35% | |

Ullrich quotes:
"We`re expecting nine races again, it will likely be the same venues." "Montreal is not on the agenda if you ask me. Indianapolis has been looked at, we would have to talk about that first though, the track isn't really awesome. Indianapolis has a big name but the track itself...that infield - No!" "The calendar proposal should be on the agenda at the FIA council summit in September. But as long as Bernie keeps changing the F1 calendar, our calendar can't be confirmed. And he loves changes!" "It always depends on which venue F1 is racing at during Le Mans. It would be unforuntate if they would be racing in Monaco at the time, but there's no danger of that happening. We know Le Mans always happens on the 24th weekend of the year, and that will never collide with Monaco." "The Le Mans date will only be moved if the Roland Garros (French Open tennis in Paris) date would be changing, because there is an indirect connection due to the police. The French police can't cope with both Roland Garros and Le Mans back to back, they need at least ten days to move people around. I've always wondered about these circumstances but now I understand, and it explains a lot. If you ask a policeman in Le Mans for directions, he'll tell you "I'm from Lyon, or I'm from Marseille". That's not helpful, they don't know their way around there". |
