Which Grand Prix circuits have you visited?

[Gilles 27]

Share your experiences or observations of any current, disused or even pre-war grand prix circuits you have visited. pictures too if you have them!

Me:

Linas Montlhery - Closed to the public now but quite a strange oval/road course hybrid

Spa Francorchamps - Eau Rouge is unbelievably steep! The old circuit shows very few signs of it's past

Silverstone - Tarmac from the old circuit still exists at maggots

Donnington - No real signs of it's history remaining

Brooklands - No longer intact due to industrial estate. Banking is crazily bumpy

Aintree - Parts of the GP circuits are still used for sprinting so remarkably intact

Monaco - The run up to Casino square is amazingly steep. Kids jump into the sea from the barrage just past the tunnel

Nurburgring - A magical place set in an intimidatingly dense pine forest. Mist hangs low over the track in the morning and it emerges slowly...

Reims - Quite eerie. In the middle of nowhere and recently restored although a complete lap is no longer possible

Goodwood - Probably the best preserved Grand Prix circuit of it's era anywhere in the world. This means it is quite a dangerous circuit

Long Beach - Hard to make out the circuit. Seems an even odder place for a Grand Prix than Monaco

Las Vegas - The car park is mercifully no longer there

The only previous gp circuit I've visited is Long Beach. The layout has been changed so many times though. The only parts of the original layout that are on the current layout is Shoreline Drive, and the corner before the final hairpin.

I've stood outside the perimeter fence at the Nurburgring, nothing was happening as it was winter and the track was snowed over.

[Gilles 27]

you never know, Walter Rohrl might have been having a go in the snow...

[zweiblumen]

Well I missed him then.
