Ecclestone's nonsense: F1 might say bye bye to Monza

The 21st century buisness is in the emerging markets, we all know that.
For that reason, lots of car makers started production in Brazil, China, India and so on, because it costs less, they can earn more, their cars would sell a lot there and so on...
Not only them are moving there anyway: Formula 1, for example is moving lots of events from historical race tracks in Europe to brand new ones in Brasil, India, USA and China.
Monza might be next: old circuit like Monza "aren't safe  enough", said Ecclestone to the italian magazine Panorama, "if we move from Monza, is only for economic  reason...
Of course, the quality and the organization of the track could also be better, but that's not the point..."
Damon Hill warned Ecclestone that this is a big risk, saying that without the European enthusiasm, F1 would die in whitin minutes...
He also said that "I don't think that Bernie's interested in sport. He's interested in the return it gives".
So we might say bye bye to Monza, while other race tracks, like Monaco, are "safe and organized enough" for Ecclestone...
That makes sense Bernie... -.-"

Nissan Leaf Nismo: photo gallery

I forgot to post the photos of the "sporty Leaf", but no one actually care about it.
Be careful if you suffer of heart attacks, or something like that, avoid this, 'cause it might have...strong effects on you!

Nismo went mad: after the latest Juke, Micra and 370z, there's the Leaf!

Have you ever thought "I want to save the world with... a carbon fibre spoiler, but I can't afford a Tesla or a Fisker and I have to carry more than...myself, so I can't buy the F1 Renault Twizy"??
You might, so Nismo has tuned for you the "all new"(!?) Nissan Leaf MY2014, to make it looking like a proper sports car...
But sadly, it doesn't...
You can make it looking like that(it still won't) ordering the "areodinamic body kit", wich is a more exciting way to say some pieces of carbon fibre, wider bumpers and a useless rear spoiler...
And, to make it even more sporty, you can have carbon fibre mirror caps, carbon fibre pillar trim and 18" alluminium wheels.
Inside you can have lots of Nismo badges and floor mats with red stitching.
But if you even want to improve "stability and handling", you can have new sporty suspension, that makes it lower, and you can improve acceleration and performance.
All this will be yours(but only if you are japanese) this summer for 543,900 yen and, if this car is going to be a success, they're going to sell it in Europe...
I don't think we'll ever see it out of Japan, but "never say never"...
