My top 3 are: Monza, Spa and Monaco (in no particular order). Also, I'd like to add Canada as it is a home track for me. But I don't have a specific favourite one.

Where are you from RedBaron?
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

I think A1-Ring gone off the calender maybe the track is too fast :roll:

A1 ring used to be osterich-ring. The old Osterich-Ring (sorry if mis-spelt) was a peach of a track, hugely fast. The A1ring basically turned all the sweeping curves into hairpins (Tilke???) and that was that. The track had a rediculously short laptime (about 1:03 or summit) and was just quite a boring circuit so it go scraped. the only real excitement I recall seeing from the A1-Ring was:

1. Taku's crash in his Jordan
2. Rubens giving way to Schumi at final bend

Not exactly a great list is it?

I guess thats why it was axed. Either that or lack of funding or political issues etc. but certainly not because it was too fast.

Maybe it was lack of support, or lack or funds, but it quietly slipped off the calender. And unlike Spa, there was no general cry from the great majority of the fans. Personally (and I'm going to open a huge can of worms here) the farce when Ferrari ordered Reubens to give way to Shu for the win, was the beginning of the end. Many fans cried foul, I know many vowed never to return to the track that had such a soiled outcome. And I think many did not return, that it was the beginning of a process that evetually saw this track drop off the calender.

Out of current tracks, Monaco, Silverstone & Spa. Challengine exciting circuits.

I liked the old Hockenhiem circuit, and I like Suzuka. Turkey seems good to, and I like Catalunya, Imola also - despite its bleak history.

But of all time I've got to say the old Nordschlife what a circuit.

Oh and even though F1 cars never races on the full curcuit (only the Bugatti short version) I like the Circuit de la Sathe (Le mans) also!

Lagunda Seca and Brands hatch are my favourite(it's the weather that make me like it). Road Atlanta and Oulten Park I'll give average. While , Road America and Thruxton are my least favourite. :wink:
