I was part of a project to completely revamp Kyalami, Hermann Tilke and Bernie was involved aswell, some changes to kyalami would have made the main straight over 1km long,

but government didn't wanna play along, the entire main straight as we know it now, would have been covered with bridges and "green" buildings with a sky scraper city around it,startline would have moved back to old days and a "spain" like grandstand, it looked really awesome :(

SO yeah my vote is SOUTH AFRICA!!!!... (anywhere in SA, just not durban please!! ;)

That would have been severely fantastic..... 8) ...probably all boils down to funding though in respect to why it never saw the light of day :(

Finland or Sweden would be interesting and attracting a good number of fans in my opinion.

Ha ha - that's the sound F1 engines are going to make not long from now if Todt keeps getting his way.
My Vote goes to South Africa because I live here. :)
Now I hear they're weeks away from a decision to bring it to Cape Town =D>
I would have preferred for it to be held at Kyalami as it's really close to my home but putting my selfishness aside, Cape Town would be perfect. A street race in what I consider the most beautiful city in the world would be awesome. Plus there's loads for the fans to see and do there. Hopefully it will be as soon as 2013!

I'd like to see more North, Central and South American races just so I don't have to wake up really early to watch the European races. There are some nice road courses in America like Watkins Glen, Laguna Seca, Mid-Ohio, Road Atlanta and Lime Rock. There are also some good street courses that are run or have been run in St. Petersburgh, Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto. I think a race in Mexico and Argentina would be good as well as maybe a second one in Brazil. I would travel there to see a race. I'd just need to get a ticket, hotel and temporary medical insurance for traveling outside the country.
