There are so many cities in Russia, that could host F1 GP, such as Kazan, St.Petersburg, Samara... Can't understand russians politicans, which make everything for one city, but forget about the others. :frown:
---------------------

An unique project in the shadow of the Olympics.
Tilke said that his architectural offices to solve a very interesting task, writing a line in the current draft of the Sochi Olympic Park, and at the same time meet the very tight deadlines. "The final master plan should be ready in two months - quotes architect. While it is a completely temporary track on the street the ring, but it is possible that in future the project may be some changes. "The project will in some way unique, like nothing on earth - in this case there is no doubt. But the trail will look like, I do not know yet, "- said Hermann Tilke.
Involvement in the city should thoroughly to reduce the cost of construction. Construction on the live material is much more economical. On the other hand, one-off conduct of the Grand Prix costs to local authorities is much more expensive than it would cost at racetrack. Currently, the city streets races have place only during the Grand Prix of Monaco, Valencia and Singapore. However, Sochi is not a purely urban trails. Tracks project does not yet exist, but we already know that the race will be held in a place, that is outside the living area. Thus Sochi residents are deprived of an additional source of income. For example, the Monegasque well earned in the days of Grand Prix racing fans handing over a balcony.

Probably the newly build olympic infrastructure is the most important reason
