On Tuesday all construction was suspended on COTA, today all equipment was removed from the site.
What once was to be the home of the US Grand Prix F1 for the next 10 years, MotoGP for a 10 year run and a 5 year US run for the Australian V8 Supercars and not to mention various other racing series who had their eye on the track, appears to me nothing more than a bad dream.
Apparently a disagreement between Bernie (head of F1) and COTA on the F1 contract that was to be given to the track may end in Bernie taking his ball to New Jersey.
COTA and Bernie have only a few weeks to get things ironed out before COTA is officially removed from the 2012 F1 schedule and possibly permanently removed all together.
