The announcement was made during the day yesterday, so it's Imola circuit will host the final of the GP2 Asia in two weeks from March 18 to 20. Besides a great geography lesson, GP2 and his organization and found a solution to replace meetings in Bahrain and deliver a round undecided because everyone will still play its card in the championship, on a circuit that few drivers know.
Choosing Imola is obviously a logistical standpoint and cost, but also availability, but it seriously undermines the image of the GP2 Asia, since it is a more detailed side negative series.
GP2 We knew after one cycle. With its schedule every season fewer large and diverse, the GP2 Asia ran the risk of cancellation decisive one day or another. The fight for media space with the A1GP in the past, the organizers decided to make shorter, more sober. In true Asian Championship, the GP2 Asia had become more of a GP2 Series Arabian, a GP2 Bis, Ter sometimes, to test pilots and budgets to the Main Series.
This year, the sole interest of the GP2 Asia and was used in Early and test new Dallara chassis, extra and place of the old chassis. And the change to Bridgestone Pirelli. This has also increased the level of the plateau, and less trade bucket than in other years, teams tend to keep a line-up unchanged on both championships techniques to maximize returns.
So after round at Imola, what will happen to the Asian GP2 Series? With handles repetitive, the same places, even in Europe? Without this rule - although bypassed, where the teams were "supposed" to have at least one pilot non-European? Would it not be wiser to change the name in GP2 Winter Series, as some British formulas?
The advantage would be to gain flexibility in timing, which could incorporate a few rounds in Europe and avoid stupors or cutting remarks. Was it possible to accept a league where two thirds of the races were going on the same track? The disadvantage
would cost logistics and organization probably revised upwards, and a return to the waltz of the pilots. Anyway, it will resume next year. GP2 Asia is the turning point in its existence, the mutation will she?
