I hate all the street circuits bar Monaco. What's the point?

OK, but the only thing going for Monaco is that fact that it has plenty of history, and thus loads of glamour. Singapore has produced better races than Monaco EVERY year they've been together, but Monaco still wins all the fans hearts, because it's Monaco.

To be honest, I dont really care about the glamour. If I do, I'd be loving Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Valencia...all the crap tracks in F1 today.

Monaco gets my pulse accelerating from the start till the end, its too easy to make a mistake and I remember great races there where cream of the crop drivers have made real rookie mistakes, including Mika, Michael, Ralf, JPM, Kimi, and more. It holds that intensity where you never know what happens at any second.

Drivers run off the road all the time in Valencia and Singapore and come back and rejoin...boring. It's a parade. In Monaco, it's the competition of the mentally fittest, one mistake and game over. No other circuit has that.

Not so in Singapore, as we've seen many a driver in the wall. I agree with you that Monaco is one of the finest street circuits, but I'm putting Singapore up there with it as one of the best street circuits. As for Valencia and Abu Dhabi... at the moment they're a bit crap......
