No F1 at Indy next year?
Motorsports experts are divided over who is the biggest loser after the announcement that Formula One will not return in 2008 to Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

“The Speedway loses one of the world’s marquee global motorsports events and F1 loses out on one of the world’s largest markets for its teams and corporate partners,” said Tim Frost, president of Frost Motorsports, a Chicago-based consulting firm that advises motorsports properties on business practices.
No racing. . . at INDY?
“If this race goes away, they have a big fixed asset in that track just sitting there,” Frost said. “They’ll have to rethink their strategy.”
Exactly. I don't know how much the track (and city) was making off of F1, but I know how much it's making with no race. Squat.

It's great that America gets shut out of the most popular racing series in the world.
