AWesome! I've marked all the dates on my calendar!
I'm looking forward to seeing some old circuits brought back (Montreal and Silverstone) as well as watching the racing on the new circuit in South Korea.

Official 2010 F1 Entry list – 12 teams only …
FIA published the (almost) final version of 2010 F1 entry list. The most important information the list provides is that there will be only 12 teams on the grid this season. USF1 failed to get ready and FIA decided that it is too late for any other team to enter the championship (see the statement at the end of this post). The entry list also confirms the name change of Campos META team to HRT F1 Team while BMW remains attached to the name of now Ferrari powered Sauber team. The only piece of the puzzle left to filled is the name Bruno Senna’s team mate. The announcement from HRT is expected later today with Indian driver Karun Chandhok said to be the prime candidate for that seat...
We can also see that the ex-BAR, ex-Honda, ex-Brawn GP Brackley based Mercedes GP will now race under German flag. So in case McLaren or Mercedes GP drivers win the race we will only hear one national anthem …

^^ perhaps! We need to have a New York Grand Prix, Floyd Bennet Arifield or somewhere in long island!! I'm more than positive there is a 6 mile space to build a 3 mile track around 
and it does not even have to be 6 miles maybe 4 
so you guys with all that excessive LI tax get to BUILDING!! and put that money to good use
