This FOTA series sounds like a lot better series than­ what FIA offers. I am beginning to get interested in­ FOTA. On the surface at least, it looks like­ they've planned well for a fan base for the series.­ Best of all, the Max and Bernie Show is not listed on­ the menu. I wish them lots of luck.

Like or hate Bernie, he's no idiot when it come to­ promoting. I would be truly surprised if he didn't­ have hi current venues locked up with clauses banning a­ competitive series.
I will guess that a break away­ series will need to out-last F1 or their contract­ before the FOTA series can book a race.
That's what­ happened in the US with the CART/IRL split. CART had­ the current venues locked up. The new IRL had to go­ searching for tracks.
There are plenty of tracks to­ host the FOTA series, but I'm sceptical of any­ schedule listing current F1 tracks.

La cucaracha! la Cucaracha! Mexico yes!

How great is this....Way to get after it....FOTA!!! Now­ if they can get Spa added to the list, we will have all­ the tracks that carry their historic as well as premium­ challenge levels back to our sport! Bernie would have­ F1 in the Congo and Nigeria if he could swindle enough­ money away from the organizers!!!

I can't wait to­ see the expression on Peter Windsor and Richards faces­ when they realize they have just joined a series that­ will be as lame as watching a Formula Ford or SCCA­ parking lot event!!! Looks like Force India and­ Williams better figure out a loop hole in their recent­ signing with the FIA....Wow, what idiots....that will­ teach them not to abide by the group....that little­ split away from FOTA just may have cost them their­ existence in the new Formula One!

if you think that a contract will stop the teams think­ againas like football they just have to have a team ­ does not mean it has to be there btop team and drivers­ it coulde be learners as you might say so someone who­ is a good racing driver but needs experiance could­ drive for them they could use it for testing new bits­ for there no1 team on the other circit so go boys ­ mosley need to forget hes not a dictator nor will he­ ever be

Breakaway....................YES. All looks and sounds­ GREAT.

I make it 9 in Europe

This looks like an excellent set of races, hope they­ can work out the details and get them locked in­ soon.
As for the rules for next year, that's easy,­ they are already written. It'll be the SAME rules­ as this year's F1 with a few ammendments (like­ getting rid of KERS probably). That way, everyone of­ the existing teams already have a car ready to go. And­ anyone new knows what to build a car similar too.­ Circuits as you said, well here's the possible list­ right here. And as for sponsorship, where are the­ sponsors going to want to be seen? Where the­ no-one's +2 are racing and no-one watching? or­ where the Ferrari, McLaren and co are racing and­ everyone watching? There won't be enough time for­ drawn out contract negotiation, so it'll be a case­ of 'who wants to sponsor us? Best offer gets it,­ you got 3 weeks'. Or something to that effect.
As­ for people saying it's fake because of Laustizring­ and Helsinki, Laustizring is free for use as it­ isn't locked into any kind of exclusivity clause.­ Helsinki, well I know there are tracks in Finland,­ I'm sure there was more than one close by to­ Helsinki, so perhaps one of those is on the cards.

This list is a fake. It was posted a couple of days­ ago in Polish, and is someone's wishful thinking. ­ The two giveaways are using Lausitz for the German GP­ (less than 20 miles from the Polish border), and the­ mythical track in Helsinki.

Well said Joker that post from cliff I was like it was­ from some hillbilly whose father married his sister. ­ But I dont think he is a hillbilly, I think he is from­ Canada. I think he is none other than that boring old­ bum-burp Dan with space between his ears. lmfao.

Wow, there's no Spa............ they don't even­ mention it. Spa's the best circuit and they­ don't include it? What's gonna be their excuse­ this time?

No cliff l I dislike Max & Bernie as much as­ anyone. They may have been good for the sport in the­ past but they are a disaster now.

Can you please point­ out what facts I got wrong? You may have hinted at­ some in your post but your English is so awful it was­ difficult to understand great chunks of it.

You are­ typical of the muppets on this site, you cant have­ reasoned argument so you resort to insults. If you­ don't agree with my post then please explain why­ without insults and foul language. I know that for­ someone of your limited intelligence and education this­ will be difficult but please give it a go. You never­ know you might actually have a point to make but I very­ much doubt it.

This calendar sounds a lot more interesting than the­ current F1 one/next years. Only track I'd add is­ spa.

FOTA will not be FOTA any more, and if there is a­ breakaway series, it will not be called Formula One, as­ the FIA and FOM hold the rights to that trademark!

now just have a race in Africa nad we are good 2 go!
