    Spa for the racing, Monaco for the heritage.


    The pinnacle of the sport.

    +1, hit nail on head.

    You cant beat the first corner of spa, the tight hairpin at the end of the straight and then down and up the hill to the Eau Rouge, brilliant racing!

    I think a few of those new wide front ends are going to be clipped at that hairpin!

    Spa Francorchamps

    Do you mean favourite track to visit or favourite track to watch on the TV.

    I've only been to Silverstone and Catalunya so of those two Silverstone is far better value for money and far more exciting to watch. If you can stomach the Hamilton fans.

    I'm going to Monza this year but the other track I really want to go to see has to Spa. That's the plan for next year.

    Monaco is the last grand prix I would want to visit.

    My favorite would also be spa. Its amazing how the hills of the track dont come across on tv- i can tell you, eau rouge is a steep incline!!
    I also like monaco, not for the great racing, but heritage and atmosphere.
    Suzuka is a great track- love the fast corners of the first sector.
    Edit: Will be great to see this year's cars take 130R and also turn 8 in Turkey.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,973 ✭✭✭RayM


    Spa, Montreal, Melbourne, Monaco, Suzuka (in that order).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,414 ✭✭✭✭flazio


    The old Hockemhein Ring. With those massive straights down the forest, I know Monza is technically faster but the loop is shorter, If Spa was a driver tester Hockenheim used to be an engine tester.

    This too shall pass.

    Spa, old Hockenheim.

    It's even better when it's raining there.

    I always look forward to this race:D

    Spa, Suzuka, Magny Cours


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 69 ✭✭shamrock321


    From a spectators point of view, Spa has been the best track Ive been to, if your talking about on the Playstation then I like Silverstone, Sepang, Bahrain, Indianapolis and the Hungaroring.

    Yeah mos def my favourite current one.

    All time would have to be the Nürburgring


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,390 ✭✭✭IM0


    Barcelona - cause it can create surprises in team orders after coming back to european races.

    Bahrain - for the same reason Massa loves it!

    China and Sepang - fantastic technically designed circuits

    so all my faves are all BTB and coming next :D

    but then there's Spa?....choices...

    NO! I cant pick a favourite :pac:

    oh and if were racing? Monaco - especially on playstation when it was playstation.
    Boring race to watch on TV though.

    Id have to pick Spa for F1 but given the choice of all race tracks i'd love to see F1 on Laguna Seca.

    Aye, doubt the drivers would allow it though.

    Have to say the new track in Portugal just used for A1GP looks great, would love to see an F1 race there in the future. Again though, with the hills and blind spots I doubt it would ever happen.

    Would have to be Canada for me - there was some fabulous racing action and incidents over the past few years. It's a real shame the race was dropped from the calendar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,919 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Monza definitely, followed by Spa and old Hockenheim.

    Yeah +1 on that, if only they got their act together and made a track they could actually RACE on (without falling apart over the w/end! :D )
    Not sure that was the whole reason it got pulled though..anyone more info on why Canada was really dropped :confused:
