Spa-Francorchamps it is for me - there would be massive problems at nordschliefe, like
-marshalling
-safety
-how long would safety cars take?
-and security.

I voted for the Nordschleife. The original Spa was also a thing of beauty, but I don´t like the new one...changed Bus Stop, tarmac at eau rouge etc. FIA is destroying the tracks these days... I wonder if we´ll see more than 5 european races in 2015. Bernie loves asia...and I hate their tracks. Except Suzuka of course!
But China, Malaysia, Bahrain, Turkey all these tracks don´t have any kind of soul nor flair and tradition. And Bernie want´s to add Korea, Abu Dhabi, India, Singapore will already take place this year... This whole "east trend" kills the soul of formula 1 in my oppinion. One european race after another get´s cancelled in favour of an asian.
It´s like playing english premier league games in china or champions league games in arabia.

Back to topic: Why isn´t the original Imola circuit mentioned? Was a true classic especially with the fan culture.
The old Silverstone is also running through my mind.
Very high speeds and big tradition.

I voted for Spa, although I actually prefer the old Hockenheimring. That was a circuit where this aerodynamic situation wasn't so important. You could overtake there easily. The old Spa circuit was in the same "league". It's a shame that they destroyed "Busstop" and "La Source" completely.

Nordschleife! Such a dangerous track with drivers and marshalls and spectators putting themselves on the line. I love the idea of a track that you can never truely learn because it evens the field, and I like tracks where the driver makes more of a difference than the car. Of all the circuits to vote for, Nordschleife fits this!

Not mentioned, but I also like it very much: Interlagos, that main straight is simply fantastic, up and downhill, plus that narrow atmosphere with the grand stand directly beside the track.
