The sport has no presence in Africa which is poor. Sepang is going, I can see Thailand coming, maybe Indonesia. Honda certainly have massive presence there in bike terms.

Can see more Baku type venues coming, and maybe a couple more races in South America.
But they have said they aren't interested in having anymore low impact events so I expect that rules out any more former 3rd world countries.
New venues will be either known or 'heritage' purpose built circuits or new street tracks in destination cities.

How long before we all get fed up with hearing 'Destination cities' trotted out?
