Unified schedule (best case)

[Brantoc]

In a perfect world, with the races each series have. This is what I'd like to see in 2006.

It will never happen, and I'm sure some of this would be impossable for other series scedules, and such, but this is what I want..

Mar 19, St. Petersburg
Mar 26, Homested
Apr 2, Longbeach
Apr 15, Suzuka
Apr 22, Motigi
May 28, Indianapolis
June 4, Watkins Glen
June 10 Texas Motor Speedway
June 18, San Antonio
June 25, Portland
July 2, Kansas
July 8, Richmand
July 15, Nashville
July 23 Milwaukee
July 30, Michigan
Aug 13, Denver
Aug 20, Montreal
Aug 27 Cleveland
Sept 10, Chicago
Sept 24, Infineon
Oct 1, Monterrey
Oct 8, Mexico City
Oct 22, Australia


Theres really about 2-3 too many street races, and 1-2 too few short tracks, but generally this is what I want to see..

What do you want to see?

What do you want to see?

I'd say dump Sonoma and add Edmonton.

[Brantoc]

I think 8 street are about 3 too many
I'd also like to see one more good short track.. (Iowa '07?)

[SportscarBruce]

With any luck San Antonio will not be a street race for long if HollyHills builds their track (hopefully a Eurospeedway Laustiz track).

[JSR]

Gateway was always one of my favorites. It's a shame that neither series races there.

[Indyknut]

Gateway was always one of my favorites. It's a shame that neither series races there.

I'll second that.

Here's my attempt at the ideal 2006 schedule:

3/19: St Petersburg
4/2: Phoenix
4/9: Long Beach
4/16: Fundidora Park
4/30: Miller Motorsprts Park (Utah)
5/28: Indianapolis
6/4: Milwaukee
6/11: Gateway
6/18: Portland
7/2: Cleveland
7/9: Toronto
7/16: Road America
7/23: Edmonton
7/30: Denver
8/6: Michigan
8/13: Mid Ohio
8/20: New Hampshire
9/3: California
9/10: Mexico City
9/24: Surfer's Pradise
10/8: Watkins Glen
10/22: Laguna Seca

22 races spread over 32 weekends, featuring 7 road courses(Miller, Portland, Road America, Mid Ohio, Mexico City, Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen), 6 street/park circuits (St. Petersburg, Long beach, Fundidora Park, Toronto, Denver, Surfer's), 2 airport circuits (Cleveland, Edmonton), 4 short ovals (Phoenix, Milwaukee, Gateway, New Hampshire), and 3 superspeedways (Indianapolis, Michigan, California). Realistic? Just about as realistic as the other scheds in this topic

[Kurt Cobain]

You know any of those schedules look fine to me. Unfortunately though...
