SPA: amazing place, forests, nice corners, longs straights, a real F1 circuit!

I Voted for Spa too. I like that circuit, nice curves and very interesting races.

I also like Turkey very much. That track is awsome and has all possible characteristics to make up a circuit.

I voted Spa, I like it cos it usually rains there and that produces interesting races like 1998! My second favourite would be Silverstone.

I voted for Monza, as I just love the track. Everyone who has ever been there will understand it. It's the mixture of italian lifestyle, history and highspeed, that makes this track so unique. And the atmosphere is just amazing. You are standing on grandstands in the forest and in front of you in the clearance the f1 cars pass by at tremendous speeds. Especially beeing in the forest makes the sound experience unique. And when the last engine is turned off in the evening the rabbits and squirrels come out of their holes. It's so amazing...

I just hate such modern F1 tracks like for instance Hockenheim. Ok, perhaps you can see the cars for 4 seconds or whatever, but there is no god damn atmosphere. You're hunderts of meters away!

two shots i made at monza last year:

I voted for spa. Its a classic race track with a mix of long straights fast corners and some slow ones, it always produces great races and lots of overtaking. When you add the weather to that you get a fantastic race track

I'm a big fan of Spa, it's a very tricky circuit and you never know what the weather may bring, especially Eau Rouge The weather can also play a major part as it can be raining on one side of the circuit and dry on the other

I think Spa because it has a lot of great corners because the track is not on flat land like a lot of the new tracks...

just look at how the track goes uphill at eau rouge, i think that's what is missing from a lot of today's tracks, circuits should be like roller coasters with different heights not like a car park where it's all flat and boring

Turkey is pretty amazing too, you wouldn't expect a new track to be interesting but Turn 8, it's great how the designers have made a corner that requires much skill and focus to master
