What country would you like to see the F1 circus brought to?

From a complete and utter biased pov, South Africa would be a priority for me, specifically in Cape Town. 8)

What countries would you like to see back on the list?

A few for me are:The US, Portguese GP and the Austrian GP as well as Argentina.

Russia would be a great first timer location... 8)

Ireland. We need a GP- it'd save lives by taking people away from the bike races :P

But seriously, I think that there should be one in Austria, definately France, and maybe Libya. That wouldn't need DRS to be exciting :P

Sweden - Anderstorp needs to get back in the calendar.

Watch Ronnie Peterson drift his car around :)

A Caribbean country or Central African country because I think further changes of scenery would be welcome. Malaysia and India are a breath of fresh air for me because of that - a grand spectacle of the best auto technology in the world in front of the masses. A "Rumble in the Jungle" type of thing.

I think Poritmao has to be near the top of most peoples list.

Be exciting to see F1 cars on an undulating track like this:

More could have been done.

Yep, Estoril. But if F1 goes back to Portugal it should be Portimao.

Not legal there, but a Swiss Alps track would be interesting. What's the highest elevation a GP has been held at?

I think Brazil.
I know Mexico city is one of the highest football stadiums, but has F1 ever gone to Mexico city?

Nordschleife is between 310m and 616m above sea level.
Three times the elevation changes of SPA :) Insane!

Good point, the old Mexican GP was in Mexico City. Surely that was the highest GP location.

Scotland, or more precisely Aberdeen!

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. :-"

Somewhere in the Midlands, UK. Bout half an hour from Derby. There's a nice road outside my house, and the pot holes would make it more interesting...

Seriously though: Argentina, South Africa... erm... Scandinavia somewhere.
