It's not F1 but:
How to run a 24 hour race by Circuit Zolder
It's ridiculous, some cars will drive a race of 6 hours, some a 24 hour race, and they're mixed-up, meanwhile they keep changing the rules every day (literally...)
this is because they needed the help of the Dutch... or else there would only be 10 cars starting. Now 31 is not impressive either, especially considered that most
of these teams will only run 6 hours.
Because of that they managed to piss off AD sport, a team that is literally based next to the circuit, and has participated practically every year.
Also they have the idea of attracting crowd by having a techno-festival. At the same time, at the same place.
Yes it will defenitly attract crowd, but only few of them are interested in the actual race...
I've been going to this race since 1994, and i can tell you now: Zolder is dead. I still wached the night qualifying yesterday, and discovered that some parts
of the track aren't accessible anymore, there are music tents now.



edit, this should actually be in another topic, doesn't it?
I don't know what i want and i want it now!

Fixed.
Inoue was supposed to drive for them in 1996 but didn't meet the payments - therefore replaced by Fisichella before the season, later on Marques and Lavaggi drove some races for the team.

that actually proved to be an interesting story when i saw it in a documentary (about schumachers debut) There's been quite a lot more than meets the eye.
(but anyone who knows how Eddie Jordan will probably guess right)
