    Cuba. That would be something.
    Did you mean Barbados or Barbuda? I'm not sure that you could fit a track on Barbuda.

    LOL

    They're supposed to host the World Cup next summer, but from the way they go about building the stadiums you could get the impression it is years away...

    Kyalami was a great track. Like many seventies F1 tracks outdated by now, but with the appropriate money could be updated to current F1 standards. F1 would get back a more historic/traditional track and the African continent finally be part of the game. As it should.

    Alternatively I'm equally happy with having Morocco back. A track with even deeper historic roots.

    In 88 you still had the real Tamburello, not the castrated chicane it has become after the Senna accident.

    You're sure right about beating Valencia. Being there this year was one of my biggest disappointments when it comes to F1 tracks and races.

    We're hijacking the thread here somewhat, but anyway:

    Montmelo is excellent because it is hilly and you'll see the cars in various turns. I'd suggest a seat at the end of the s/f line.

    Monza was another disappointment because you only see a fraction of the track. Pick the Ascari chicane.

    Spa I've only been when there was no GP, but I'd think it is great anywhere. Logistics is the challenge here.

    P.S. I'm looking at a globe now thinking where would be good to hold an F1 race lol.

    Bringing it back to Zeltweg (Austria) would be nice ... but the old track layout.

    So that the green folks of Austria can threaten the drivers again with throwing bags filled with oil on to the track to cause accidents, injuries and death?

    Or as Berger put it: "Why don't they just shoot at us with rifles."

    I loved Zeltweg and later the A1, but the folks there didn't like what they have.

    Hey, i've just had an idea if the British GP goes T!ts up. It isn't strictly England and it probably isn't possible either, but certainly would be fun....... They could hold it on the TT Course in the Isle of Man.
