What's your favourite circuit either already on the F1 calender or one that has been in the past?

May be...

  • I know alot of people love Moncao and for the technical driving and sheer spectacle I like it as well, but my personal favourite is probably the old style Hockenheim. Long long straights through a lush forest into slow chicanes allowed for some good overtaking every now and again and it was the first course I ever drove in a racing sim (Grand Prix 2).

  • NГјrburgring. awesome
  • Monzaaa!
    Albert Park
    Hungaroring
  • i like silverstone as its british, but i like the australian one it always delivers the best, i've been to see the british grand prix and i love it, the atmosphere is immense. but i guess hockenheim is good to :):)
  • Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours
    Many can say it is a boring race because of the very rare overtaking and it is true. Still I am a huge fan of this track and I was upset when I knew it won't be returning for the 2009 season and that's why:
    1- Two fast Chicanes
    2- Prominent kerbs leading cars to bounce sometimes and requires skills at qualifying.
    3- The shortest pit-lane causing some unusual strategies.
    4- Nice scenes without the forests.
    5- If it rains the race gets very interesting
    6- Ferrari usually gets one-two there.

    A close second is Carlos-Pace at Sao Paulo

    Third is Turkey's Istanbul Park Circuit (Turn 8 leading to the main straight is awesome)

    BTW: My first win in a sim game came in France.
  • My favourite circuit is probably Suzuka. So many great corners, the snake section, spoon curve, 130R.

    Spa would be second.
  • Loving Eau Rouge in Spa

    Biggest Kimi raikkonen fan so how can i not love Spa, the master of Eau rouge, drive it flat out.

    Brill circuit.

    However if were talking about PS2 F1 games i like italy- Monza. Easiest circuit to drive around love the parabolica (can't spell)

  • Spa, although the Bus Stop isn't as much fun as it used to be.
  • I liked Ostereichring. Pure unadulterated filthy hardcore porn of a racing track.
    That dip and rise on the start finish straight makes me chuckle when i think of it being outlawed by the powers that be of today.
  • I do have a soft spot for Monaco but for me its gotta be Brazil. The atmosphere's amazing and i love the Senna S Corner, the overtakes there are brilliant! and the fact that its anti-clockwise, its like no other track on the calendar.
  • Suzuka
  • .

    I remember being on my mobile to my friend at 3.30 in the morning, swopping fastest lap times years ago, driving Grand Prix 2 at Hockenheim!! Excellent!!

    I still miss Brands.....probably cos I attended my first GP there with the chief photographer of Autocar. Awesome!

    .
  • The Old Nurburgring was amazing, One lap was about 14 miles and 172 turns. It was remarkable when Nick Lauda in his McLaren ran over a Deer in official qualifying.

    Other circuit that was amazing is the Old Brands Hatch, the car went airborne on the chicane.

    Anyway favorite circuit is subjective to taste but certainly the best circuits are in the past. FIA spoiled all the fun by forcing almost every circuits to add chicanes and slower corners to its original much faster and Cooler track.

  • Silverstone, Spa and Monaco are my 3 favourites. I'll be gutted when F1 is no longer at Silverstone.oseola
