moto GP confirmed at COTA

I would rather watch WSBK here.

I wonder which other track they will drop laguna or indy. Seems riders have issues with both.

They're both on the calendar for 2013 with CoA. WSBK added Laguna for 2013, so I can't imagine MotoGP dropping it due to complaints from the riders.

Indy on the other hand... I could see that one disappearing from the schedule in years to come. Not a huge turn-out, and not exactly an exciting venue to watch racers point and shoot through the infield with zero elevation changes and negligible camber.

I think almost 70k showed up for this years race. I know its almost certain that Indy will be dropped, but I'll be real sad. It is nice being 3 hours from a race.

But 70k in that venue looks like a ghost town.
