League table? For tracks

'Brawn: League table for F1 races'

Interesting idea but no talk over what would be considered a poor performing race. If it's based on track action that would seem a bit flippant as it changes so much. Weather dependent and the like.
Attendance wouldn't work as track owners would lie in state owned circuits

Also unless the 2nd Division circuits had a feeder series going to them how would they know which to pick from

Any thoughts on how this could ever work

more from the ivory tower

Can anyone think of objective measures for this?

I'm struggling...
Baku stank as a horrible track for racing, and pandering to money, then produced one of those once in a decade races...
Monaco will be terrible for every race metric I can think of, but could never disappear...

I can understand some form of committee sitting around and subjectively placing them based on a number of things - how much fans generally enjoy the races, year after year (but very difficult to maintain an annual league table based on this), how much did they put on a show for the at-the-track fans, logistically how did it go, how well attended, etc..

But again, how can we position those who want promoted? A track which does or doesn't do all this for non-F1 races, doesn't necessarily mean the will or won't achieve this when F1 comes to town.

I suppose that the threat of 'relegation' might pressure the tracks that have poor racing (but good off-track entertainment) like Bahrain and Abu Dhabi to really re-profile the tracks.
At the moment their contract is safe and there's no reason for them to improve the standard of racing.

Perhaps on-track excitement, probability of rain, etc could be weighted more heavily in order to retain fan favourites with terrible infrastructure like Brazil.
