I wish F1 had the balls to go to the long Watkins Glen, Road Atlanta, Road America or Sears Point instead of this Mickey Mouse parking lot, with its one time attraction T1 exactly then, at lap 1.

Came across a clip off a racestart at COTA some days ago, at first I thought it was Turkey. Tells you how memorable the track is.

More trolling, but i'll bite in the name of educating you.
The Glen would be the true home of (road) GP racing in the US, having held the event for some 15 years, although the first (road) track home was Sebring in the fifties, followed by Riverside in 1960. Watkins Glen hosted it's first Championship race in 1961, just weeks after the crowning of their first and only US born WDC, Phil Hill, who notably was not racing at the Glen due to a Ferrari boycott. The Glen hosted the USGP then every year up to 1975 after which the USGP fell from the calendar for nearly a decade, replaced by the East and West variants before returning for a USGP Dallas one off.

Why don't they consider Watkins for a US GP? The track's safety standards have been brought up considerably recently, although I'm not sure if it's up to whatever grade the FIA want for F1. However, looking at tracks like Azerbaijan and Monaco, or even Montreal as they are in the present day, I don't see how Watkins is possibly more dangerous. Thing is, a race in New York has to hold tremendous value for F1 and there's a perfect track there for it where the series already has so much history.
