Je crois personnellement que ça ne serait que la logique des choses d'avoir une course de MotoGP en Amerique. Croyez-vous que c'est possible?



Moto GP at Laguna Seca in 2005?

ROAD RACING - U.S. GP for 2005?
There will be a U.S. GP on the provisional FIM World Championship Road Race calendar when it’s released later this summer, but will there be a race? Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta thinks so.

"We think we have an agreement,” he said at the Grand Prix of Catalunya north of Barcelona, Spain. “We have a verbal agreement. Now it’s necessary to put that in paper.”

Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is the proposed site, but there are considerable financial obstacles to overcome, according to SCRAMP general manager Gill Campbell, who met with Ezpeleta and other Dorna officials at the GP.

“Obviously we’re still in the fact-finding stages and we’re getting closer,” Campbell said during an interview in the Proton KR garage. “There’s no doubt about it. We’re inching closer. We both want to do it.”

Whether they can afford it is the issue.

“It’s from SCRAMP’S perspective that we’ve got to do whatever event is best for the facility and we certainly know that MotoGP is,” Campbell said. “We’ve already gotten the feedback that, from a fans’ standpoint, there are a lot of fans out there that would like to see a MotoGP event. We would like to accommodate that. But it’s got to be whatever is best for the facility from a cost factor, from a bottom line factor, and from a promotional factor. What is the best that we can absolutely do.”
