No amount of money on this planet will ever change that part of the world. Stop pretending. It is what it is.

I've always wanted to see that part of the world, but given all the talk I don't think I'll be in a hurry to go there.

Sport can have a role in helping nations progress (South African apartheid boycotts come to mind), and the F1 circus has shone a spotlight on abuse in Bahrain, which can only be a good thing. |

They have resisted all international pressure to boycott the Bahrain event. As for apartheid - F1 was one of the few sports to go to South Africa during this period. So not much has changed. I appreciate that there's remaining politically neutral, but it's another thing to offer validation to oppressive regimes. |

However, all this really has little to do with AusTC other than that a race is held there. I'll close it, if you want to continue the discussion please visit Parc Ferme and start a thread in there. Preferably without the autocensor dodge in the title. |
