Between Toyota and maybe another team, and Bridgestone stepping out after next year, plus some new non-factory teams (US F1), its going to be interesting next year.

If that section shrinks, would that mean moar support for rally? That would be good. Especially coverage.

i think all of the collective sports are going to have to come to terms with shrinkage.

it's gonna be a "polar bear plunge" for all of racing i fear. :(

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.
