They have more access to wealth than Canada (they prop up the US, for christsakes). Surely they can harness a bit of sand.... .

This was removed (quite rightly) for not complying with guidelines. Some people seem a little sensitive. Anyway, it was in answer to this question...

They've got the money to put a dome over the track gromit
Good point Y2K. It should be scrapped then. Their covering the track with a dome would be the equivalent to Canada resurfacing Montreal...

Why can not airports keep birds off of the runways? Why can not New England keep slippery wet leaves off of the roads in Fall? Why can not we just pump air up to the moon so people can live there? Why can not we just take the salt out of the ocean so we can have all the fresh water we want to drink?

Why can not people realize that unlimited money still cant buy everything?

Same reason the Dutch could not keep the sand off of Zandvoort.
IT'S SURROUNDED BY SAND!

Wind is kinda funny that way. Blows things around.

Wow, u suggested putting a dome over the track. You mean an indoor track for F1? l suppose it should be air-conditioned as well?

Someone should take this to Bernie & now that we had the first Night Race, we can have the first Indoor Race. But seriously, do u know how big is the whole circuit?

Can u imagine the size of the dome required for this & engineering effort to design the dome & the amount of cooling power required? And the noise levels from the F1 cars r tremendous already. It may even be deafening when indoors.

Yes, they have a lot of money, but l do not think they should just throw it away like this.

And oh yes, wind & sand. tough conditions to master. :)

Did not you know, there is a worldwide broom shortage, l personally blame that darn erosion thing
