Eastern Creek, Bend, Phillip Island?
Edit -- Hmm, despite the MotoGP, Phillip Island is Grade 3, however Google suggests both The Bend and Eastern Creek are Grade 2. Given what was done with Zandvoort, it doesn't seem like too much would be required to bring The Bend and Eastern Creek to Grade 1 Formula One spec, maybe just some more tarmac run-off areas?

Given they are only a handful of seconds faster than 2.0L Formula 3 cars with less than half as much power, doesn't that tell you all need to know about how little downforce S5000 cars have?
At least on those Grade 2 circuit, the S5000 should at least be as close to Formula 2 level as possible IMO. You can always put the shorter undertrays and small front wings back on for lower grade circuits.
