Brazil is fine, and either Curitiba or Goiania would fit the bill, or maybe the short course at Brasilia.

Also, what they did to Marrakech was painful. They NEED to fix that somehow, or find a different African venue. Kyalami in South Africa has just been refurbished.

Now, the rest of your post, I can't go along with it. The Nordschleife is GREAT. I FAR prefer that to seeing these cars just do the GP layout. I'd rather see the WTCC go to the Sachsenring than do just the GP Circuit at the Nurburgring, or the Tilkefied version of Hockenheim.

As with the Nurburgring, I'm not real keen on either Estoril or Algarve with the WTCC. These cars just don't have the presence to "fill the circuit up" at Portimao. I don't really care for Estoril with much of anything, since they remodeled it for MotoGP back in 1999-2000.

Vila Real, in its shortened form, is still WILD. Even just watching Qualifying there is more exciting than the races at some circuits. Furthermore, they are supposed to loosen up a couple of the chicanes at Vila Real for this year, which should definitely help.

Having the WTCC at Monza, or Enna-Pergusa, would be alright, but I'd be MUCH more excited to see them back at the Salzburgring.

Well my thought was focus on overtaking and on supporters and this is why i cant understand how can they make races in marrakech or vila real which there is no possibility to overtake and the race is almost finished after the start? And ofc we could even talk about costs for the team when one car crash into the wall
