		<description>I agree guys, but 2 points.

1.  An economic impact analysis might actually suggest that it makes no financial sense to run an F1 GP.

2.  Holiday for the F1 race might be in order, but the track is in constant operation from April - October.  This isn&#039;t one of those middle eastern tracks that only gets used once per year.  Here is a link to their schedule.

		<description>Noise nazis suck.  Lets do an economic impact analysis on what losing all activity, and especially a F1GP, would do.  Can you live with one weekend of noise, or would you rather be broke?</description>
