lkjohnson1950:
Most of the drivers want to get rid of the chicane in Miami. You know, the one where so many of them crashed. Oh yeah, they don't like the pavement either. Organizers say they're open to changes that will improve the circuit.

That's easy. Move it to Sebring but still call it the Miami Grand Prix. After all, Imola isn't in San Marino but they still called it that for years.

I can see the appeal for having it right in downtown Miami, on Miami Beach, or somewhere on the shoreline, but once you go for 'suburban parking lot', why not just go to a local race track with a long heritage?  You can still build a fake marina at Sebring or Homestead.

Alianora La Canta:
Ah, but would you want all of Sebring's bumps smoothed out?

cosworth151:
Absolutely not! I want to see them run on a track that isn't pool table smooth! Besides, if they can get the oscillation frequencies just right, the pavement & the porpoising might dampen each other out (or maybe be additive and change the porpoising into pogo-ing!)  :swoon:
