However, news coming out of Austin, Texas is that construction of the new GP-quality circuit has been halted because a contract between Formula One and Circuit of the Americas has not yet been conveyed to the race track according to the parties&#8217; previously agreed upon timetable. ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/circuit-of-the-americas-construction-suspended/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>10</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Texas Legislature Postures over $25 Million Subsidy for Formula 1 &#8211; But What Does it Mean for MotoGP?</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/oped/texas-state-legislature-austin-gp-subsidy/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/oped/texas-state-legislature-austin-gp-subsidy/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 20 Apr 2011 01:30:30 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jensen Beeler</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Opinion/Editorial]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Austin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Austin GP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[budget]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Circuit of The Americas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Formula 1]]></category> <category><![CDATA[government]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Major Events Trust Fund]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[subsidy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Texan GP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Texas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Texas State Senate]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=21111</guid> <description><![CDATA[A tremendous commotion was started today, as a panel in the Texas Senate decided to cut the $25 million subsidy set aside to help bring Formula 1 to the city of Austin, Texas. Immediately this sent concerns through the motorcycling press as to what it could mean for MotoGP and the Texan GP scheduled to be held in 2013, as it seemed the State of Texas was pulling its support from the still un-built Circuit of ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/oped/texas-state-legislature-austin-gp-subsidy/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Fiat Boss Fuels Ferrari/Rossi Rumors</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/fiat-boss-fuels-ferrarirossi-rumors/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/fiat-boss-fuels-ferrarirossi-rumors/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 22 Apr 2010 22:02:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jenny Gun</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[contract]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ferrari]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fiat]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Fiat Yamaha]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Formula 1]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Formula One]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Formula One Championship]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Formula1]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Luca di Montezemolo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Michael Schumacher]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[silly season]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Valentino Rossi]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=10350</guid> <description><![CDATA[Fiat Chairman Luca di Montezemolo has thrown some more fuel on the never-ending fires about a Valentino Rossi&#8217;s rumored switch to Formula One racing. Fiat as you might remember is the title sponsor of the factory Yamaha MotoGP team, and also the parent company to Ferrari. In what he calls a &#8220;great idea&#8221;, di Montezemolo made it clear that he would like to see the seven-time World Champion driving for Corse Rosa.

Adding to the on-track drama has been the discourse off the track by the teams, race promoters, and drivers. Currently, Bernie Ecclestone (Formula One Management) and Max Mosley (FIM) are attempting to impose a £40 million budget cap on the teams, ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/dorna-ezpeleta-lead-formula-1/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>A Sigh of Relief for Donington Park</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/sigh-relief-donington-park/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/sigh-relief-donington-park/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 06 Jun 2009 22:14:28 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jenny Gun</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Racing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BSB]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Donington]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Donington Park]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DVLL]]></category> <category><![CDATA[FIM]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Formula 1]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[WSBK]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=3046</guid> <description><![CDATA[Friday, Donington Park announced two major developments. The first announcement is that Donington Park has passed FIM inspection, just ahead of this month&#8217;s WSBK stop, and next month&#8217;s MotoGP stop at the historic British track. The second announcement is that DVLL, the track operator which leases the premises from landowner Tom Wheatcroft, has settled on its past due rent payments, thus insuring the continued use of the track for motoring events.

Bridgestone, the now sole provider of tires for the MotoGP series, is taking a cue from from Formula 1 and coloring the rims of MotoGP bikes to indicate the tire compound the rider has selected. Like in Formula 1, green will be used for riders using the soft compound, and red for riders using the ...]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/bridgestone-colored-rims-motogp-la-formula1/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Donington at Risk to Losing MotoGP, WSBK And BSB In 2009?</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/donington-risks-losing-motogp-wsbk-bsb-2009/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/news/donington-risks-losing-motogp-wsbk-bsb-2009/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:08:57 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jenny Gun</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[BSB]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Donington Park]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Formula 1]]></category> <category><![CDATA[lease]]></category> <category><![CDATA[legal]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MotoGP]]></category> <category><![CDATA[trouble]]></category> <category><![CDATA[WSBK]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=2178</guid> <description><![CDATA[Trouble has surrounded Donington Park since in began redesigning the track to make it suitable for Formula One. First, the track had to reschedule and postpone a number of events after complaints about the construction.

This coming January, the venue will start accepting the ashes of up to 5000 people.
