F1 circuit to be built in Angeles City?

[wildthing]

Actually, Singapore will INDEED host the F1 race next year on Sept 28, 2008.

The track will be built along its streets.

ala monte carlo ah!

Masyadong malaki ang investment cost niyan pero it should be a probable venture.

Yung lugar sa tabi ng SM ay maluwag pa.

ok to ah. it might not be the best use of the private sector's money...but it's high time that Pinoys had something to be proud of to the rest of the world

Usually yung F1 GP are pushed by the goverments because of the guranteed money upfront na hinihingi ng FOCA. Yung Malaysia GP was pushed by ex-PM Mahathir, but I think it is now being required to upgrade just after 5 years or they will loose their right to host the GP there.

I hope that this is not just another pipe dream, just like a couple of years back when Subic was bidding to be considered as the location for an Asian Disneyland. As well all know, the project went to Hong Kong.

The problem is would they hold the Formula 1 races here? They have a schedule for just so many races in a year, could they still accomodate us? It's gonna be a big waste of money if we can't convince them to hold a race here.

Uy! Was going to post this, but I had no internet with me when I read it.

Even if we don't get F1, we'll be able to host more of the Asian F3, hopefully the Porsche cup, and some touring car events.

A big boost is if we could get on the A1GP Calendar... with a matching debut for the Philippine team (oh, how I wish! ).

naku mahirap nanaman to, baka pagkakitaan ng mga oportunista to.
sana lang walang problema kung sakaling magmaterialise tong project na to.

[krazeyrock]

wow, magandang balita ito kung totoo na matuloy ito....
kaya lang they would be needing a huge amount of land para makapagsetup ng international race track at the sametime yung hotel accomodations dapat ready considering that each team will be having so many crews and not to mention the guest and fans that will arrive during the event.

pag may f1 circuit na dito, siguro susunod narin ang motogp... sana pagtulungtulungan ng mga car manufacturers dito yung circuit para matuloy.

This is good news. Exposure yan sa tourism side.
