F1 in Cyprus what do you think?
We have plenty of Booze and plenty of gorgeous women and fantastic hotels ect what else do we need?

I mean Monaco have one and they are a Pebble in the Sea!
At least with Cyprus we are a bigger Pebble I think? Say a Rock!

We can't build proper roads Wink .. forget about it.

Besides, the Cyprus rally is being pulled out of the top level from the coming year. Honestly, we can't finance such a big project.

I say yes, but that's only because I'm an F1 fan.

When I watched Hungary in Cyprus they did a special on the Cyprus rally and the possiblilty of a Monaco style grand prix near limassol.

It's been pulled for the 2007 season, but reinstated in 2008. The rally teams regard Cyprus as a difficult event for two reasons, one because it's so tough on the cars and two because it doesn't have a native market for them to promote their cars.

moose is more well informed that I apparently Smile

yes, it is happening in Limassol.. its called Limassol Down Town ( or something like that ).

honestly instead of spending so much money on building a F1 track ( which we don't have ) I would spend that and more on improving the existing roads, instituting city planning ( absent from Cyprus ) and educating the average Cypriot on safe and consciencous driving.. we are top in the EU in road accidents and death counts per capita.
