Lets imagine for a moment you had the power of Todt & Bernie combined and could decide what tracks F1 should be using for the next season. Rules: - 20 tracks max - no fantasy tracks However you can pick for instance Laguna Seca and we'll assume Bernie & Co. will build the required infrastructure around it. Also, please don't turn this into yet another debate over Laguna Seca vs Watkins Glen vs Indy vs Road America. Here is my list, which I grouped by continents as I strongly believe F1 should race on all of them to be truly global. The numbering is meaningless, just to keep count: Europe: 1 Monaco 2 Hockenheim/Nuerburgring 3 Monza 4 Silverstone 5 Dijon 6 Zandvoort 7 Barcelona 8 Zeltweg 9 Spa 10 Turkey Australia: 11 Melbourne Africa: 12 Kyalami 13 Morocco (ok, not fantasy, but certainly not existent by now anymore ) Asia: 14 Suzuka 15 Sepang Middle East: 16 Abu Dhabi South America: 17 Interlagos 18 Mexico City North America: 19 Montreal 20 Watkins Glen
Good list. Just a few modifications for mine. Europe: 1 Monaco 2 Nurburgring 3 Monza 4 Silverstone 5 Dijon 6 Zandvoort 7 Barcelona 8 Zeltweg 9 Spa 10 Imola Australia: 11 Melbourne Africa: 12 Kyalami Asia: 13 Suzuka 14 Sepang Middle East: 15 Abu Dhabi South America: 16 Interlagos North America: 17 Montreal 18 Watkins Glen 19 Laguna Seca
