Singapore Changi circuit team is past. the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) has exercised its contractual rights and terminated the agreement with SG Changi. I'm hoping it's just a crazy misunderstanding and not actual crazy.

By what I could translate with Google Translator, looks like Honda will reveal its plans, teams and drivers for 2012 season.

I think Formula Nippon should increase its season schedule, if I'm not wrong in the 90's there were season with 10 races, maybe 11, I must check. Would be nice to add new circuits without leaving the one they are already racing at.

But Lam Pak is right in one thing: it could be great that Formula Nippon could race in the Macau streets...
BTW, great to see Toshihiro Kaneishi back. I remember his glory days when he won German F3 Championship back in 2001. Alas, how many Swift FN09 chassises were built? |

Exactly! He's not going to drive each race as some off them will collide with Indycar calendar, but at least in 2 or 3 races we will have him there.

Well done that former F1 driver Takuma Sato wants to compete in the Formula Nippon series. Hopefully, he will succeed in the race to be attended.
