So they replace one of the best tracks on the F1 calender, with a track that ranks about as technical and challenging as Indianapolis.

To be fair, the track at Fuji has changed a fair bit in the last 20 years. Not as good as Suzuka though I agree...

F1 is dead.

If you want entertainment, watch A1GP.
If you want to see how money has destroyed sports, go watch F1.

A1GP ahahaha. Sorry but thats even worse than F1. It was fun at first. but those things besides being close to 20 seconds a lap slower than an F1 car on a standard race track like Malaysia, overtake less than they do in F1. thanks to the cars all being the same, once your out of your push to pass boosts, your stuck unless the driver infront makes a mistake. And when they do and crash 80% of the time they bring out the safety car. Oh yeah, real exciting. And can anyone compair frances domination to Ferrari's in 2004? dont see people complaining about that, finally the production for TV is absolutly horrible, directors dont know what to focus on, camera angles are horrible and on-screen graphics are all but useless. The only true rival for excitement to F1 next year will be the GP masters series. Those cars while identical like A1 cars have real power behind them, and not only that but real drivers who know what they are doing.

A1GP has crashes and burnouts. Same reason that people like GT2 in the rain.

A1GP is in its infant season. It will take a few years to get going (look at the IRL)

I like Fujii
