I'm guessing that NJ and South Korea won't be having races next year...

They way Bernie handled talk about the rules putting a limit at 20 races was classic.
"Yes, they [the rules] do say that. What's your point?"

It wouldn't be the first time they announce that this race is back on

Mexico, Austin, NJ, (Montreal).
More proof that Bernie couldn't care less about the sustainability of races so long as he has someone new always throwing money at him. There's not enough demand to support 4 races in NA, I'm sorry. Austin drew from all over last year, particularly from Mexico/South America. Mexican race is going to drain some of that, methinks, and NJ race will drain a good deal of the American attendees from the Northeast. And then once the novelty of all of them has worn off, there's going to be a glut of attendence at all of these races, and attendance is going to start looking like the last couple of years of the USGP at Indy.
Bad. fucking. idea.

I just don't get New Jersey.
No offence, but New Jersey?
Setup a NYC Parade lap of a race if you have to, if that doesn't bring in boat loads of money nothing else would.
But New Jersey? Really?

I get why, mostly because it'd be a giant clusterfuck to do it in NYC proper and where's it at might as well be NYC.
But it's just a bad idea for what's probably going to be a bad race. I'd be excited if I lived in the area, but I don't think it's good for the sport if long-term success in NA is the goal.
