Couldn't they simply start dividing F1 into divisions, like they do in almost all yank games. We'd have Asia/Pacific division and Europe/Americas division and the we could have play-offs at the end of the season. What a fking amazing show would that be.
The have talked about it - Americas, then Europe then Asia as 3 series within the calendar.Vaud said:

That'd be the beginning of the end, similar to what chase did with Nascar.
I think they dismissed it due to scheduling and the possible issue that in the Americas you would have 4 races (Canada, USA, Mexico, Brazil) but they may cannibalize fans from each other (esp Mexico/USA) and weather would be an issue for Canada early in the season.Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
