How about a state of the art asylum in Hambantota?
Gulf Kolla Saturday, 25 December 2010 09:37 AM
F1 is a declining sport. The money spent on these tracks will be an utter waste. It will benefit only a previllaged few.
Irsh Saturday, 25 December 2010 09:28 AM
Much needed move! next will be Camel race track...
F1 for Lanka Saturday, 25 December 2010 09:20 AM
Great great as a F1 fanatic we will be proud to have it Sri Lanka. This will bring lots of tourist and will be great market event for Sri Lanka.
sandbox Saturday, 25 December 2010 09:29 AM
hambantota is nt the only city in SL
sam Saturday, 25 December 2010 08:06 AM
Oh, good to have a F1 racing track but it should be build once the existing road infrastructure is well build and developed for Sri Lankans who use their own vehicles and public transport.
Herath Saturday, 25 December 2010 08:11 AM
Seriously why Hambantota? This is making me sick now. Open your eyes!!!! Sri Lanka is not only Hambantota....
Nalaka Saturday, 25 December 2010 08:01 AM
Because neo-colonial comprador society in Colombo no longer has the political power !!!
Minister Saturday, 25 December 2010 11:12 AM
What a good news. Now we don't care even if the coconut goes up to Rs. 100 and onions Rs. 500. Thank you our able Government, the saviours of our peoples
garawi Saturday, 25 December 2010 07:06 AM
Other countries are dropping formula one and other races for tobacco advertising which brought the income is now banned. This is a big mistake and must not go ahead!
micky Saturday, 25 December 2010 07:05 AM
Sri Lanka is the capital of Hambantota
oyage podi guru Saturday, 25 December 2010 06:55 AM
And in 576 A.D., what happened to Rome?
Matahari Saturday, 25 December 2010 06:51 AM
Vote Bank, Investment for future generation. Leaders of Gampaha District (ruled over 30 years) were not so selfish, they treated all districts equally.
Maleen Saturday, 25 December 2010 06:16 AM
Excuse ME... Ferrari F1 car can't go on bumpy roads...!!!

mnsmart Sunday, 26 December 2010 06:11 AM
In most of the present main roads, off road races could be conducted.
Dee Sunday, 26 December 2010 02:47 AM
The need of the hour
anemagekata Sunday, 26 December 2010 02:02 AM
Most of our highways are formula racing tracks already with private buses and MPs' convoys as racing cars.
YURI Saturday, 25 December 2010 10:39 PM
before that can you fix the road from Vavunya to jaffna.. its a hell road in this planet, then fix the Hole from of Roxy in Gale Road then talk about the rest
pasel Saturday, 25 December 2010 06:52 PM
you can't even build a good road for locals now building track for formula !
I hope no sink holes on the track like Galle road
chalieh Saturday, 25 December 2010 06:49 PM
But we do need a F1 track to drive the Aston Martins and other fast cars that are currently raced after midnight along marine drive and green path
The Sceptic Saturday, 25 December 2010 05:45 PM

mahinda Saturday, 25 December 2010 02:54 PM
I am sorry but who is John Todd? and where is the World Motor Car Racing association? I cant find any credible information anywhere. This has nothing to do with Formula 1
Hisham Saturday, 25 December 2010 02:27 PM
Hopefully not the bus drivers of 155
Athif Saturday, 25 December 2010 01:36 PM

shihan Saturday, 25 December 2010 01:15 PM
What the hell? F1 tracks? don't we have much more serious problems? cost of living is on the sky and they talking about f1? Government has nothing to do, so they just talk non sense.
zorro Saturday, 25 December 2010 11:37 AM
IMSA has nothing to do with Formula 1 Grand Prix of FIA, who conduct the Formaula 1 races.
Niroshan Friday, 24 December 2010 09:23 PM
Why on earth is every thing done at Hambantota?????? Sri Lanka is not just Hambantota,, there are other areas,,,
Sangakkara Saturday, 25 December 2010 01:18 AM
Fix our cricket grounds first. Do what we are good at.
KB Saturday, 25 December 2010 01:12 AM
Examples of the needs of Political Frogs.
Daksina Saturday, 25 December 2010 12:36 AM
I just retired from CTB driving buses for 30 years. I must be given the priority to drive Formial One.
lalith Saturday, 25 December 2010 12:38 AM

Lewis Appu Friday, 24 December 2010 11:29 PM

ONLOOKER Friday, 24 December 2010 11:22 PM
Where is the money coming from, is the public going to taxed ti fund the tracks.
Tharaka Chanaka Friday, 24 December 2010 10:07 PM

PA Friday, 24 December 2010 09:53 PM
Why? We already got Galle Road and Kandy Road.
adahan Saturday, 25 December 2010 01:38 AM
The suffering masses need some relief for the burning stomach not enjoyment and jubilation for those in the economically cosy position.
oyage podi guru Friday, 24 December 2010 07:38 PM
Just what we need! How about some camel and ostrich racing tracks alongside?
Jay Friday, 24 December 2010 07:21 PM
Ha ha ha! I fully agree with KD
Atha Katha Friday, 24 December 2010 07:17 PM
Although this is good news, I think its best to first build the galle road properly, then will talk about building F1 tracks.
bash Friday, 24 December 2010 07:01 PM
We could then go peacefully on the roads
rishan Friday, 24 December 2010 05:57 PM
A very good idea.All private bus drivers can becom F1 drivers.
KD Friday, 24 December 2010 06:01 PM
One for threewheelers and one for buses
fazal Friday, 24 December 2010 05:35 PM
YES VERY GOOD FOR SRILANKA OUR PRIVATE BUS DRIVERS SHOULD BE GIVEN FIRST CHANCE TO DRIVE ON IT.....

Waga Paluwa Saturday, 25 December 2010 02:13 AM
This is the all thing the general public wanted, when a coconut goes to 60 Rs.
citizen1 Saturday, 25 December 2010 02:20 AM
....and some betting joints to go with it.
citizen1 Saturday, 25 December 2010 02:21 AM
Hambantota is the new capital of Sri Lanka!
Neomal Saturday, 25 December 2010 02:19 AM
Guess what? HAMBANTOTA will be one venue for this part of the Aascharya.
yoyo Saturday, 25 December 2010 02:49 AM
So that they can cut some more coconut trees?
Harsh Saturday, 25 December 2010 02:57 AM
Do not cramp Hambantota by adding every thing. Then it will be worse than Colombo.
sana Saturday, 25 December 2010 03:18 AM
How much did the government pay to get this statement from John Todd?
Siri Saturday, 25 December 2010 03:27 AM
....and they will come 1st, 2nd and 3rd!
Siri Saturday, 25 December 2010 03:37 AM
This Govt. gets its priorities spot on, every time! - Listening to the cries of pain and hunger coming from huts and shacks far away from Colombo and Hambantota.
NAIDE Saturday, 25 December 2010 04:37 AM
JUST WHAT WE NEEDED ! NOW THAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED EVERYTHING LIKE IMPORTED COCONUTS, EGGS CHICKEN, VEGETABLES AND HAVE THE BEST HEALTH CARE WITHOUT ESSENTIAL DRUGS, WE SHOULD GO 'FORMULA ONE' AND WHY NOT ?
Gong namba Saturday, 25 December 2010 05:13 AM
Serves the same purpose as The circus in Rome.
Ombudsman Saturday, 25 December 2010 05:18 AM
