Minister of Sport announces TT$1.4B Motor Racing Facility

[trini mk5]

WE all to lazy... we have (a gimme)/ ( I want) syndrome... I personally won't blame the minister ( even tho I was disappointed with no wallerfield again..) but I don't think if any of you was in his position would spend millions on something that has no proper management ....

^^that

if only one group of people will learn to play ball instead of wanting it all

but karting events, rally events, the 4x4 event last week, drag + time attack, solodex (bago dex was last week), San Fernando Grand Prix etc etc all had great management.

TTASA & NSO status..........


everytime I asked about why nothing has been done that short *phrase* above always came up.. and if they can't get their house in order well we would not have anything to look forward to from government..

LOL @ wagonrunner you really made my night .. thanks man... .

[carryman88]

IMHO instead of kicking us out of wallerfield to start a project that has been on hold for a while...they could have turned that ENTIRE facility into a motorsports heaven. that facility could have hosted Drag racing, Circuit, Drift, Rally....like moti said...i'll beleive it when i see it...

[amd-dude]

1.4B this better be a F1 circuit like the one in Abu Dhabi...straights for a drag strip and inner smaller circuits for track days

[Damien]

why bobots aint hhmc

[CD4Accord]

if anyone see Anil.. tell him like Crazy would "Paul yuh mudda come" hahahaha

Seriously, they can't pave roads or airport runways properly... The prospects for them constructing a proper racetrack are rather bleak..
Wallerfield was only what it was because it wasnt build by incompetent locals..

I hate to sound like the arch-pessimist, but the gov't is too busy chasing its own tail to ever move to a capital project of this size.. 1.4 Billion? ie. 3% off the total budget (before bobol and cost over-runs).. The non-racing people in the population (majority) will take that with a whole bucket of salt..

[kes_vtec]

Sanctifier and CD4Accord, very good point...
sad but so very true...

we really in need of good leaders on both ends

[Conrad]

People does still anticipate a racing facility from government?

[tr1ad]

well it's a "government owe we" attitude... not sure where it came from

[notsoloud]

is he building another brain lara stadium!!!

[sliderz1]

priceless!

i hope this supports a facility that caters for circuit, drag etc etc

[djaggs]

1.4 B to build an FIA approved racecircuit is very conservative. But that is if you going professional from the start and intend to bring down FIA sanctioned events.

I dont think we need all ah dat to get motoracing started again in this country. Wallerfield was far from up to international standards but we had a helluva lot of fun up there. Why cant we start with something simpler, a good track with basic amenities. The ministry should be involved in the management of the facility and profits from events should be plowed back into the facility to bring it totally up to spec. Nobody here ent looking for no F1 facility, cuz realistically, F1 never coming here.

Nobody should be allowed to profiteer off the facility, hell, i willing to manage it for them if they want.

Lets say start with 200M,start the racing, make some money from gates and put it back into the facility to complete it. Hell, the amount of money that was made in wallerfield over the years it was active, it could have been a worldclass facility today if there was some people there who cared about the sport. That money vaporised.

[djaggs]

BTW, anybody else notice there was nothing in the budget for motor sport ??

[Soundwave]

thread has been shifted down into The Pit, sh1ts and giggles time...

[cinco]

expected he does nothing but talk

[White CZ4A]

He probably felt pressured the day of the drag and wind event and just said it to make himself look good.
I would have felt bad to even attend the event. And I'd feel pretty used if I gave him my car to drive on top of that.

what a waste of time and space....cluttering up the global topics on tuner!
