Dijon - I would love to see this track again. Loved the race with Rene Arnoux (sp?) and Giles Villeneuve in 1978.

Also the original Hockenheimring.

It was never really a track that can be BROUGHT back, but it was almost used for F1 back in the day..

Laguna Seca

1. Brands Hatch, because it was the world's first bespoke motor racing circuit
2. The Green Hell
3. Monza, with the high banking restored

Laguna Seca has hosted a non-championship F1 race.

Monza, with the high banking restored

After two motorsport deaths in the space of a week, I would hesitate before bringing back something that was dropped for safety reasons....

And anyway, I love Monza just as it is now! Beautiful venue and faaaassst :thumbup:

The banking adds no danger ...so long as you do not leave the circuit.

This. At the time I started following F1 this was a circuit with unique demands on the cars.

To use my phone in the car I deleted all my German contacts, it's now Hans free.

Yes, although I feel the old one was more of a test of car than driver. Saying that, the long straights provided some great racing.

Still plenty of overtaking on the new version though!

The new version is like a lame duck and needs to be put down.

Then Laguna Seca, I always wanted this track to host F1 races after playing GT3 on it...couldn't get enough of the track!

Laguna Seca is too small for F1. Expanding it would ruin the track. An F1 race there would be good but not if it wrecks the circuit.

Arghhh this site is crazy for the A1 ring. Why???

Can any of you fans point me to one classic race that really determines why this circuits is so great?

To me it was always a squirt/brake, squirt/brake, squiggle a bit, squirt/brake/squirt circuit. Whats so good about that?
