That would be nice, but then you could also argue that two or more races should be held in other countries, like Australia and Great Britain. I think they should only have two races in the same country, if that country is fanatical about F1, or could become fanatical in F1. It is also a little bit unfair for other countries, as I would presume there would be dozens which would love to hold an F1 race. I personally like both of the races in Spain, but I think it is a little bit unfair for them to currently have two races each season.

I think it's a good idea, but what would it be? US Grand Prix and the North American Grand Prix? lol Track wise there isn't much on the east coast that would work with an F1 car without modification, Watkins Glenn would be awesome especially with the history and it doesn't seem like it would need much to go to F1 standards.

Didn't they use to have the European GP at the Nurburgring and the German GP at Hockenheim? I may be wrong...

^Spain had the Spanish and European GPs.

As for the east coast, I'd be thrilled to see them use Daytona...the road course version that the Grand-Am series races on.

Spain has two Grand Prix races because both Barcelona and Valencia have paid the amount Bernie required.

If you want races your cities should pay for them.

My city paid for a Renault world series: YouTube - ‪2005 World Series By Renault Bilbao‬‏

But the people complaint because they couldn't access their garages in a week and there was noise...¬¬ We could be now like Monaco.
