Be interested where the finances for this are coming from in Thailand.

I hope he has done his contingencies on domestic market, as I cannot see people getting of an international flight and driving 6 hours to get to Buriram which has limited infrastructure as it is.

He would be better of building an airport as well- if he is serious about getting proper races their, or better still spend the 2 billion on better infrastructure of Buriram for the people he obviously loves so much:)

Hopefully this guy will eventually end up sharing a cell with Kamnan Poh the Silpa Archa family and alike.

Very soon coming to Buriram, King Power shopping plaza with a runway in the parking lot. rolleyes.gif

So you both have missed the runway incorporated into the track where K. Newin can land his private jet.....I hope he makes a roaring success of this venture

Shouldve made it chiang mai, its already a world class motorcycle riding destination. But i suppose a closer proximity to BKK would be better for the masses.

On the plus side......... Thailand does need a decent motor racing circuit.

On the minus side.......In Buriram?

What important races does he invisage..... the Chidchob International Trophy?

Tilke.

Finally!! A decent circuit is truly needed in Thailand. Motorsports are huge in Thailand (and growing) but there aren't enough decent tracks, especially ones that are large and well designed. My only disappointment will be the number of years it will take to get it to opening. One thing you do have to commend K. Newin on - he makes a plan and sticks to it provided the numbers stack up. He did it for football, I hope he does it for racing.

'Motorsports are huge in Thailand' so where's this huge Motorsport base as in track racing ? outside Bangkok it doesn't exist.

Yes sad we need a track here in Phuket badly

Eh? If you reckon Bangkok is the hub of Thai motorsport, then where are Bangkok's race tracks then? Ratchada/Rama IX and the Highway 9 bypass don't count!

To be honest, the only track that I know of is Bira, just outside Pattaya. It has a steady, seasonal draw from Asian saloon car races, bike races, that odd-ball 'drift' racing as well as the famous bike week. Bangkok has a motor show... and that's about it.

It's a drag strip, not a bloody runway.

The cynics beat their gums about local and national politics whilst the Bangkokians question why it should be in the boonies. Bangkok doesn't need any more attractions. Even if it hosts an F1, it will be of fleeting interest. Planning anything for the impoverished northeast always gets the city dwellers all riled up.

'If you build it, they will come.'.... usually.

Newin is suffering from megalomania and nobody is asking where he got the money from. Let me guess it is something over which his mentor ordered the killing of hundreds.

Your lack of concern for Thailand shows through in your dislike for Newin.

Like my old criminology instructor used to say. Most people think the whole world is like their back yard.

It sounds to me like you have a very messy back yard,

Timed right Bangkok could have the worlds only F1 with water wings.

F-------the masses.

Just kidding. But they could still put in a motorbike one here and I think it would add to the excitement. The sport only has one way to go and that is up. thank God/Buddha/Allah for that. The only thing that can stop it is the Government.

Interesting statement.Thaksin probably has a boil on his ass after hearing about this. The very idea of his old nemesis coming up in the world without him.

I could just see Newin doing that in Thaksin's backyard.

If Newin could have controlled Chiang Mai instead/as well as Buriram, I am sure he would have put the track there.

(Perhaps if Chiang Mai FC didn't play in pink he might have domiciled his football team there as well biggrin.png )

I'm no fan of Newin but more power to him in this venture. Two things. Raising the standard of living of Buriram people and sticking it to the fugitive.

Well you can't get money off the top unless you spend money. Remember the Silpa Archa family? Ten percent from each contract signed. It was no wonder that he was know as Mr 10%. Ten percent of each contract for this should bring in lots of money.

You think they'll halt the races temporarily for take-offs and landings? :rolleyes:

I think it is a great idea & I hope he pulls it off. I agree with the comments about F1 too. It's an awful pity that it is moving more & more to street circuits, which, apart from the danger, just lead to more boring races.

Still, if he manages to build it, upgrading to F1 standard shouldn't be too big a deal.

I'd certainly be willing to travel from Bangkok to Buriram for a FIM race meeting - much more exciting than the cars wink.png

Newin doesn't use his plane during races, he's too busy selling hotdogs and ice-cream

OK, so they can manage to plan finance and get a concrete agreement on something of little interest to most Thais and falangs, but they seem to be incapable of doing something of far greater importance such as dealing with the flooding around Bangkok!

I think you're confusing him with that Ecclestone guy.

I was using general terms Bira just becomes a sub district of Bangkok on car race days as far as competitors go

I see a drag strip. Top fuels crap all over circuit racing.

Yeah, cos driving in a straight line is SO exciting!blink.png

Yep, accelerating to 500km/h in 4 seconds is pretty exciting!

Sure is. D'you see that? See what? blink.png
