Of the CCWS venues which one do you think would be a best fit for A1GP? I was upset they did'nt come back to Laguna Seca. I don't think they gave the race a chance. It was the first year and it was RAINING! No wonder nobody showed up.

Venues I think could work.

- Barber Motorsports Park
- Road America
- Watkins Glen

Of course due to when the series is run, they would have to run places like above at the end or Beginning of the season to avoid the possibility of snow.

Road "America" would be my choice.
A North American double would be my optimum choice. A race in Canada too?

I also vote for Road America. Cleveland might go to IRL in the future. Portland and Houston do not meet the 2.0 mile length.

Due to weather concerns, racing in the southern half of the U.S. would be less risky. My vote would then go to Barber Motorsports Park or Road Atlanta.

Watkins Glen is on the IRL schedule
and Champ Car didn't use Barber Motorsports Park

My vote goes to Mont-Treblant for a Canadian race and Road America
Also they could take Jerez, Spain and Zolder, Belgium

If I were A1GP, and evaluating both a Canadian and American round, I probably wouldn't look at Road America seeing as how far north it is.

So, if it's just an American race: Road America.

Canadian and American races: RA would be my first choice, but probably wouldn't make sense. So, the other RA then (Road Atlanta) and Mont-Tremblant.
