Has this circuit been designed to accommodate the F1? Certainly a great boost for Burriram and will make my visits to the village more interesting when the is racing on.

No F1, but has a chance of MotoGP in 2015

Representatives of a new track called the Buriram International circuit (BRIC) around 250 miles north of Bangkok flew to Mugello recently for further talks with Dorna boss Carmelo Ezpeleta.

He was updated on progress of the new track, which has been designed by world renowned circuit designer Hermann Tilke, who created the Circuit of the Americas, Sepang and Istanbul Park.

The earthworks at the track were proceeding well when I drove past a week ago . F2? That's great. More fun than F1. Not too far away, but thankfully out of noise range. I'll buy a membership if anyone can tell me how. Would be a good day's outing when it opens.

Can anyone say 100% No F1 or are people still dreaming of it being in Phuket or Pattaya?

Agree, the F1 crowd would not like the current accommodations that Buriram offers. Buriram may be able to attract the caliber of race fans like NASCAR.

My God! Could you imagine it!

These 2 places don't represent Thailand very well do they.
