New Italian GP deal expected to be signed very soon. :yahoo:

Seems once more Bernie's hard ball, ably assisted by stirred up negative public opinion, has raised the F1 take from another track. No wonder everyone with a monetary stake in F1 wants him to continue at the helm. ;)
-
Good news for the race that is only 2hrs from me, but sadly that will mean there will inevitably be less money for venue upgrades and it will remain a piece of crap for too much money. Thanks Bernie.
-
One can never know for sure with Bernie, but I believe he said the new contract would include upgrading the facility. Whether that means the private sky boxes or the public areas wasn't quite clear.
-
The first thing that needs upgrading Lonny are the toilet facilities.
-
Yes, but we're not talking about needs, we're talking about what Bernie Wants.

Yeah, unless it's something he actually sees, he couldn't care a less. That means only helipad, paddock and Paddock Club will see facility upgrades

I suppose the paddock toilets are going to be world-class by the time Bernie has finished negotiations!

I think Bernie has his own super toilet

I don't know about that, but I'm pretty sure he wipes with the Concorde Agreement...

Of course. After all, he's full of it.

I don't think a gallon of CLR could clean the grout lines in this privy at Monza.

:DD :DD
I'd forgotten you'd taken those shots...finally you guys can see what Ian and I are talking about. I bet the Paddock Club WC's aren't anything like that. Monza tip. Eat lightly and use the trees.
-
You mean that's a toilet and not a shower?

Squat toilet...they're all the rage. ;)
-
Bernie probably doesn't class those as toilets, which explains the neglect...
-
New stories suggest the deal is fading...typical Bernie.

Reminds me of the toilet at our local drag strip. They're in a trailer, 3 stalls and a 10 foot trough on our end. Went to use it once and made it 2 steps inside the door before nearly losing my lunch from the smell alone. Walked to the other end of the paddock to use a Port-a-John. It was bad, but tolerable.
-
It looks like Bernie still wants to dump Monza, probably to make room for yet another dictator derby on yet another Tilke snooze factory.

Bernie says we're unlikely to keep Monza without giving clues as to the replacement track.
Pencil it in for 2016.
-
It's his MO isn't it? Threaten to take a race off the schedule in the weeks leading up to the last race of the current deal. Then show up at the venue, have everyone in a panic running around getting signatures and leave the racetrack with a new, much fatter contract. That's Bernie.
-
It's about time for Bernie to get a Memo from Modena.
What's Italian for STFU?

You are just boasting....'local drag strip' pah!
We only really have one drag strip; Santa Pod and it isn't local to anywhere!
I can leave home in beautiful sunshine and find it is pouring with rain when I get there.
Regarding toilets - at least Santa Pod has invested in much better toilet and shower facilities. They are still fairly bad but such an improvement on what used to be there. Back in the days when I used to race in Super Comp and Street Eliminator, Mrs Monty would not go to the toilet the whole day. Mind you she could outrun the car at the first motorway services!

There are a lot of words/phrases that are Italian for STFU. None of them are printable...

Southwestern International Raceway is about 30 minutes across town; a fully accredited IHRA strip. For more serious racing, Firebird Raceway (They changed the name recently, but I never can remember the new one) is about 90 minutes away in Phoenix and hosts a full on NHRA national event every February. Their facilities are first rate.
