Was für eine geniale Idee …

… aber wohl nicht umsetzbar.
Oldtimer Grand Prix im Central Park
Ich kenne den Park ganz gut, geht richtig gut hoch und runter, tolle Kurven, geniale Kurven – Mann, da würde ich jedes Auto über den Teich schippern, um mitzufahren.
Automobiliac schreibt unter anderem:
“I’m obviously not the first to fantasize about this race through the park. Back in 1965, race promoter Alec Ulmann, of Sebring 12 Hours fame, proposed the very same idea in Automobile Quarterly (Vol. 4, No. 1). He felt that New York should have a Monaco-style Grand Prix right in its heart, and reserved harsh words for the all-powerful Parks Commisioner Robert Moses for scuppering his plans, as well as multiple previous attempts in the 1950’s to run exactly such a race. The map from Ulmann’s article is reproduced here for your enjoyment. Click below to enlarge the full circuit map and ask yourself, why couldn’t they do this?”
