Negotiations for another US grand prix at Indianapolis in 2008 or beyond are still at a stalemate.
The fabled Motor Speedway’s chief executive Tony George is quoted by Autoweek as insisting that he will wait until the end of the July 12 deadline to decide if he wants to sign a new deal with his F1 counterpart Bernie Ecclestone.
The Detroit-based magazine claims that Ecclestone, 76, travelled to Las Vegas the week before Magny Cours to talk to, “among others, billionaire developer Steve Wynn about possibly staging a … street race (there) in 2008”.
George therefore described the chances of a renewal for Indy as “a coin toss”.
