I can't, not my type of race track.

But then again I like the original Spa.

Seriously though, Oulton if it were a bit wider, would be brilliant.

Top of my list is Macau, though.

Knockhill is fabulous.....it's been likened to an army assault course!

Knockhill is a real drivers circuit but is far too small for F1 Cars

Cadwell park would be fun Road America would be a (slightly) more sensible suggestion

Road America and Cleveland!

p.s, Clevelands start/finish straight is 150 feet wide, should allow for one overtaking attempt during the race

Cleveland would be interesting - although I wonder if the surface is too bumpy for F1?

I have to say Knockhill would be fantastic, it would be a very interesting challange for a modern F1 car.

I've driven round there and no one would ever take an F1 car round there, or so I thought! I was watching a program on TV called, something like, 50 things to do before you die and one of the thins to do was drive an F1 car. Someone tried this at Three Sisters. Madness!

Taking a semi realistic view (ie circuits of appropriate length that could be used today-the old Kyalami was brilliant as was the old 'Ring but neither are possible today)
I'd go for (not in any particular order)
Mexico City,
Adelaide,
Laguna Seca,
Watkins Glen,
Ste Jovite,
Phillip Island,
Bathurst'
Paul Ricard
Road America,
Rio de Janeiro,
Road Atlanta,
Wigram,
Brands Hatch,
Oulton Park(no Chicanes)
Donnington
Aida,
Buenos Aires'
Le Mans
Mugello
Jerez'
Sonoma,
Mt Fuji
There is obviously no shortage of great circuits for the GPWC to choose from for a future World Championship series....

Bathurst,now that would sort the men from the hairdressers.

Choice Circuits?

Well this has proved illuminating.

My personal favourites would be:

1) Donington Park
2) Oulton Park
3) Laguna Seca
4) Bathurst
5) Road America
6) Montjuich Park
7) Clermont-Ferrand
8) Daytona
9) Nurburgring - the Full Nordschleife circuit not the pansy one they use now!
10) Osterreichring - the original and best
11) Rouen
12) Watkins Glen
13) Zandvoort
15) Longridge - only kidding

The problem with the 'new' circuits is that they all look the same......


BORING

On the alternating circuits bit, it sounds nice but I don't think it's recommendable IMHO.

Quite simply because it disrupts the continuity of the championship over several seasons as then you'd have the possibility of a champion of one season being accused of having it easier/harder because that year they were driving at, let's say, Höckenheim instead of the Nürbürgring, or Paul Ricard instead of Magny Cours and so on...

Am I going nuts or is this making any sense at all?

I like the idea of Bathurst. Laguna Seca and Castle Combe...but Combe would have to alternate with Knockhill.
