The online racing simulator
By night I mean green flag at 8PM. Football has done that for a while for good ratings, F1 could too. After all Indy got the best ratings in the UK of any race until it was cancelled.
Quote from J@tko :Germany - Hockenheim (old one please) (or Nordschliefe :P)
Austria - Osterichring (hows that spelt??)

Nordschleife!

The Österreichring is the A1-Ring now, maybe even to give foreigners a chance to spell it right... It's partly demolished at the moment to build Mateschitz' vision of a motorsport and flight academy, but that project got stopped halfway through and the track's future now dangles on a very thin string...

:doh:

And on the A1-ring, I knew that, so not exactly sure why i put a circuit that doesnt exist in my list....

But the 1979 rFactor Österreichring track is great.
Quote from J@tko :I was going to make a point, but basically it was that

18 GPs I want.

Australia - Adelaide/Surfers Paradise (that would be cool :P)
Japan - Suzuka/Fuji
America - Long Beach
Canada - Montreal
Brazil - Interlagos
Spain - Catalunya
France - Pau/Paul Ricard
GB - Brands Hatch/Silverstone (or Cadwell... :P)
Germany - Hockenheim (old one please) (or Nordschliefe :P)
Italy - Monza
Austria - Osterichring (hows that spelt??)
Belgium - Spa
Holland - Zandvoort
Monte Carlo - Monaco
Portugal - Estoril
Turkey - Instanbul (Tilke's one good track )

I'm sure theres some glaringly obvious ones ive missed - point them out to me

The A1-Ring (formally known as Österreichring) is not existing any more, thanks to the rebuilt program of red bull.
Surfers Paradis would be great, as it won't be used as monoposti track in '09, thanks to Tony George's lazyness in travelling with his IndyCar.
Track of Adelaid is not the track it was back in old days.
Zandvoort is cool, even if the rain poors like Sunday in A1GP. A problem might be the enviroment thingy... the F3 Masters couldn't take place in Zandvoort because of the enviroment protecting laws.
And for Pau I give a NO... Pau is much to narrow, and even the WTCC has no overtaking opportunity there.
I'd love to see Brans Hatch in 2010 in August... then they could call it the Olympic Grand Prix.

My dream carlender would be:
  1. Brazil - Autodromo Carlos Pace Interlagos
  2. Argentinia - Autódromo Juan y Oscar Gálvez Buenos Aires
  3. Mexico - Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez Mexico City
  4. USA - Indianapolis Motor Speedway F1 Grand Prix Circuit / Road America Elkhart Lake / Long Beach / Laguna Seca
  5. Canada - Circuit Mont Tremblant / Circuit Gilles Villeneuve Montreal
  6. France - LeMans Bugatti
  7. Monaco - Monte Carlo
  8. Belgium - Spa-Francorchamps
  9. Turkey - Otodromo Istanbul
  10. Sweden - Scandinavian Raceway Anderstorp
  11. Italy - Autodromo Nazionale Monza
  12. Austria - Salzburgring Salzburg
  13. Germany - Eurospeedway Lausitz T1 Grand Prix
  14. Spain - Valencia Street Circuit
  15. United Kingdom - Brands Hatch
  16. South Africa - Phasaki Freeway Welkom / Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit
  17. Japan - Suzuka International Racing Course
  18. Singapore - Marina Bay Street Circuit
  19. Macao (China) - Guia
  20. Australia - Gold Coast 300 Surfers Paradis
okey a bit more then 18
Not surprising, following Kubica's crash and the safety standards debate which followed, then the rallycross event which was the most recent race.

It's a shame, but they've put themselves in that vulnerable position to an extent. I would much rather money were invested and the problems properly fixed, and not by whoever put down the surface last time, but I think Bernie and co want as many available weekends for Asian GPs as possible at the moment. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if we get an "Asian Grand Prix" in the near future.

Pacific Grand Prix

I remember the Formula One @ Suzuka and Aida (now Okoyama) in the same year (1994, if I belive my good old Grand Prix 2 game)
Suzuka was the Japanese Grand Prix, and Okoyama the Pacific Grand Prix
Quote from STROBE :Still, he's getting on a bit isn't he? Can't be long now.

God I hope so...
Quote from deggis :Canadian organisers were not informed of decision

WTF

Now that's just not on.

I don't wish Bernie dead, but I do wish that the old bastard retires right now (after reading this post!) and he never returns to destroy F1 like he has been doing for the last however many years.

Actually, I've had a change of heart. I wouldn't mind if he passed away... Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Quote from J@tko :France - Pau/Paul Ricard

ever heard of a nice little place called circuit de la sarthe?

Quote from duke_toaster :an extended version of Norisring

as interesting as it might be to have a home gp its by no means a great track and im not at all comfortable with having mosley walking around on the reichsparteitagsgelaende
another reason for that old sock called Bernie Ecclestone to retire...
Quote from Shotglass :ever heard of a nice little place called circuit de la sarthe?

Yes, but it's too long for F1 races and the Bugatti circuit is epically boring imo.

additionally, the Hunaudières, although it is castrated, is to long to high speeded for F1

d'oh!
**** you ****ing Bernie Ecclescock
Quote from TFalke55 :additionally, the Hunaudières, although it is castrated, is to long to high speeded for F1

the words too fast and f1 in the same sentence dont make any sense whatsoever
Quote from Shotglass :the words too fast and f1 in the same sentence dont make any sense whatsoever

It may seem silly, but those overbred engines can't take high revs for too long... The teams complained about a bit of wind redlining their precious machines on the Kemmel(?) straight in Spa for a moment, before braking for Les Combes... What do you think they'd say about the monstrosity that is the Mulsanne Straight?
Quote from deggis :F1 teams told their cars go too fast

when did the fia suddenly become a reliable source of information and good judge of whats best for the sport? or in fact something that makes sense?

Quote from bbman :What do you think they'd say about the monstrosity that is the Mulsanne Straight?

how about: dear god we may have to build cars that actually work for a change?
and since youre so eager to correct spelling mistakes on german words which may just as well be typos... its called the hunaudieres
Nooooooooooooo... I was planning on finally going next year too.
Same Mattesa... Wanted to go watch my first F1 race ever next year and was planning on saving some money for grand stand tickets and all. Wow... But... why??? Doesn't the track have history and the wall of champions and all. Man whoever choses tracks is an idiot...
