Probably give him some important financial position in which he can really spread his wings....like ticket-taker at Cowboys games
They really do need to go back to South Africa and Brazil. Too many damn races in Spain, where the economy is really in the shit.
well...and the market of India is really left out since they are a booming moto market with lots of money pouring in to that nation for manufacturing and such...

But you know DORNA's going to turn loose of those Spanish races only as a last resort.
Given the strength of their economy & moves they're making in moto manufacture, I wonder how long it's going to be before we see a MotoGP or WSBK race in India. (zooom beat me too it as I was typing! :-) )

If DORNA cares about money, which we know they do, they should dump all but one of them now. I'd be surprised if they aren't already looking into S. America and India.
Argentina is scheduled for next year. Brazil is a good choice in the near future. Chile is building a track that can accomodate F1 and MotoGP, but it won't be ready until 2016.
