> [@duckJAI](#): > > Thanks for pointing that out MPD47, I just got back from work and quickly skimmed the thread. Why would you be so hesitant? Josh, correct me if I’m wrong. This is still a bare patch of land. Nothing in these plans has even begun to take shape. Figure they break ground by May 1st. You’re talking about grading, water runoff, base layer, access roads, and then the multitude of layers to make a good track surface in a matter of a few months? Not to mention you have to let it cure or you end up with the problems Watkins Glen had with it’s back straight when they repaved it in the middle of the season and then after 4 Club Days and IRL the back straight had to be repaved AGAIN because it was ripped up by the cars running on it early. There just doesn’t seem to be a plausible way this could be built and usable before next year. (Ok, maybe some winter days). > [@crud](#): > > This is of course fantastic! how long after completion would it take for FIA and FIM I think it is, for aproval for F1 or the MOTOGP circus . > maybe Le Man prototypes running there in a few years. does this not delight the imagination. unfortunately I cannot make it there to the townhall meeting that day ,I’m already short handed at work. BLAST IT . this is very exciting especially for the niagara falls area. heh,heh,he, he,heeeee The amount of money involved, combined with the amount of parking spaces this place has (2600 IIRC), means you will never see F1, MotoGP, or LMS at this track. Never. ---

Mike, the parking isn’t a problem and will be explained at the meeting. Parking is definitely NOT a limitation on anything. The land is currently a small airport. Drainage needs to be improved, but it’s already partially there since it’s needed for the airport. Some base layers (stone, etc.) have already been sourced. Odds are slim that the road course could be finished this year, but not totally out of the question. ---

Ok, then I’ll just leave it at the licensing fees required for those events, it’s never going to host anything on the world stage. Some National/Club level stuff could definitely happen though. ---

[QUOTE=;][/QUOTE] this locations is actually not bad. At first I thought this was at the airport in st. catharines, which would never get approved since its so close to the city and no one would put up with the noise. But for the people from Toronto, Cayuga and/or St Thomas is still closer. ---

I am very excited about this! For those of us in Buffalo, a track that close, is great news.

Never. maybe your right about the F1 and Moto GP bit but, Le Man prototypes have run at mosport(LMP 1) so why couldn’t they run at this proposed track. I already read somewhere in the first couple of paragraphs that this track will be built to F1 specifications. ---

I already read somewhere in the first couple of paragraphs that this track will be built to F1 specifications. This track, as much as I want to see it succeed, will NEVER get an FIA Grade 1 Certification. There are less than 28 tracks world wide which currently have that level, this will NOT be one of them, EVER. There are a few problems which will stop that. Mosport doesn’t even carry a Grade 2 certification. Mosport gets an ALMS race because it makes for great TV viewing, has the facilities to host a race of the caliber and has F1 and various other sports car bits of history associated with it. I could go into the money involved and technical specifications but it’s a bit boring. Feel free to spend a bit of time on [FIA.com](http://FIA.com) and some other key websites to further your education. ---
