Personally id like to see a African GP back.

However, id like to also see the European GP being just that, a GP that floats between about 10 diffrent tracks in Europe that are at FIA Level 1A standard for F1 races, and do away with the European GP in Valencia, have that track and Cataluna swap every alternite year.

Heres a list:
Portamao - Portugal
Motorland Aragon - Spain
Circuito de Navarra - Spain
Zolder - Belgum (If upgraded)
Donnington - UK (If upgraded)
Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit - UK
Red Bull Ring - Austria (Old A1 Ring)
Masaryk Circuit (Brno) - Czech Republic
Bugatti Circuit/Le Mans - France
Sachsenring - Germany
Circuit Park Zandvoort - Netherlands

HOLY S**T thats a FANTASTIC track! Got to get a GP around that!

Even though i dont care for the track personaly, I think laguna seca would be a good track, if only to see F1 cars go side by side into the corkscrew.

Wow that track's beautiful. Is it suitable to run F1 cars round? The run off areas look pretty small.

Generally I don't care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself. When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.

If Monaco is suitable then so is my back garden.

You just need to pay enough money.

I have a road circuit worked out already and the fact that the track would only be 2 minutes from my flat has had no bearing on this what-so-ever. :-"
What's wrong with Knockhill, much better than Ingilston, with elevation changes and you would not have to travel too far.


As for Bathurst, the track looks great, runoff not so much.
