...used to be part of the gp world championship.

I know, but coralling and riding a dinosaur around the isle is a lot different than a modern GP bike.   ;D  Besides, if they ran IOM, I could watch the race in HD on the Discovery Channel 5 times a day.  
Occasionally AFM #702  My stuff:  The M1000SS, a mashed r6, Vino 125, the Blonde, some rugrats, yuppie cage, child molester van, bourbon.

Too bumpy, but I would love to see them in Monaco.

I wouldn't. If only for the fact that I would jizz in my pants every time I heard the Duc screaming through the tunnel.

fim and fia have different homologation requirements...

just look at the walls and lack of runoff here:

Kimi Raikkonen on board Canada gp

fwiw, the wall of champions (~0:42) got it's nickname because of the number of people that have hit it.

Seconding Road America. GOD I love that place. Plus the sheer number of places you can watch the race from, the history of the place and the GREAT places to eat that surround the lake...oh hells yeah.

And why not bring the USGP back to BIR? Brainerd is another great fast track.
