    Mordor Grand Prix Announced

    BERNIE Ecclestone has struck a deal to take Formula One to the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie.

    The Mordor Grand Prix will be on the F1 calendar from 2016, to the delight of the Black Land’s motorsport aficionados.

    The deal to bring Formula One to the orc-rich land was facilitated by Ecclestone’s friend and business associate, the Witch-king of Angmar, who rubbished concerns over Mordor’s human rights record.

    He said: “Media accusations of mass surveillance, hobbit torture and secret armies of Uruk-Hai are unfounded and holding back tourism.

    “People always say that one does not simply walk into Mordor. We want to show them that one in fact drives into Mordor, ideally in a single-seat, open cockpit car in the company of champagne-drenched bikini models.â€

    Teams will race in a newly constructed course in the shadow of Mount Doom, under the all-seeing eye of the Watchful One.

    Drivers will be challenged by the threat of incineration if they leave the track, though the possibility that they will be corrupted and enslaved by Sauron’s dark sorcery has been dismissed by race organisers.

    Mordor overcame a period of domestic unrest to successfully host the Commonwealth Games and the Chess Olympiad, while the UNESCO-listed Black Gate has recently seen concerts by 50 Cent and Jennifer Lopez.

    Formula 1 fan Tom Logan said: “This is great news for the sport. But everyone knows it’s still Nürburgring to rule the all.â€

    Speed (that's actually Fox Sports, I suppose) conducted a post-Spa opinion poll.

    Who do you blame for the Mercedes clash in Spa?

    Results:

    Rosberg: 52%
    Nobody/racing incident: 36%
    Hamilton: 12%​

    Lucas Di Grassi's response to these numbers: "64% knows nothing about racing."

    :lol:

    Might as well have a Brabham in a Brabham to go with the Brabham story.

    I gotta say that I was pretty satisfied overall. I just hope that Jenson keeps his drive next year.

    IMHO the greatest silver lining is that the silly double points for Abu Dhabi didn't factor significantly into the Drivers' Championship standings. :crazy:

    I agree that Bernie needs to go. But he's the one complaining about the drop in viewer ship and wants the double points rule in even more races because he says Red Bull dominated too much.

    Not so many years ago you would have had Ferrari in there instead of Red Bull.

    Bernie doesn't care about one team over another he only cares about money and ratings. If he can generate ratings by generating controversy he will.

    Bull, it would have had no effect on who won the Championship last year... Double points is pro wrestling, and it seems that now NASCAR doesn't want Bernie to out wrestle them with all their new gimmicks this year...

    Folks fans watch to see good racing not funky rules that might allow an under performer to win a championship...

    This is all going to help the new Tudor series.;)

    PS: Here is a novel idea for all racing series's; Cut the amount of money a series Championship is worth greatly, and at least double the amount of money a race win is worth... Then sit back and watch the racing improve and attendance go up!! :cool:

    :cornut: I love MA. On most other sites this would be a no holds barred, knock down drag out fist fight. But here on MA, it's two people respectful of each other agreeing to disagree. Wonderful!:Thumbsup:
