@Imaan1
I know where races are held in the past and why those countries are not holding races now. The only question I want to ask is if there was no fan base in Turkey and China in the first place then how could they get the GP as you have said that in your previous post that
Secondly it doesn't only take money for a country to have its own grand prix circuit it requires a number of things like passion for the sport (fan base) , peace , economic stability and then when you have all these things then you need money.
Is not it contradicting to what you have said now:
Most circuits were sold because people did not follow f1 much and therefore tickets were not sold. That is why they could not pay Bernie Ecclestone. Although UAE can still afford to have gps because of their raw income and economy.
Who says that circuits in countries mentioned by you are not organising races at all. Zandoovart in Holland the circuit that holds F1 for 30 years is still holding races in GT category, when A1GP was functional they also have a race at that circuit. Kyalami in SouthAfrica also holds A1GP race once, Mexican and Argentinian tracks are also holding races too. US is a place which have massive potential for all the manufacturers competing in F1 but F1 has not gone their since 2007 because no track is ready to pay huge fees charged by Bernie to hold the race.
Bro, forget this that these tracks are not wanting races because of lack of attendance as the contract for holding the race clearly states that they have to pay the annual fees to Bernie whether they generate any money from spectators or not.
And who says in Pakistan we have 25% people who are watching F1, if that much people are watching F1 then I would say we deserves an F1 race without a doubt. For me its only 1% of total population which are following F1 and even this is a big number.
As for your comment that we don't have any institute to train racing drivers, I would say that it takes time to build from zero, if you want to have a fan base, a driver representing your country, a world class facility in the blink of an eye then it is not possible. Just imagine how many years old the following of this sport is in Pakistan before asking for such things F1 become a known entity because of Senna and Michal become the symbol of F1 in Pakistan.
You have said in your previous post that we can't even organise international cricket matches because of terrorism, so let me tell you something the reason why we can't hold matches is not terrorism, its the lack of sponsorship that should be counted as the bigger problem, because back in 90's Karachi was suffering from far worse terrorism and still teams are coming to Pakistan and playing in Karachi even on strike days too.
