I'd choose Daytona 500, because of the all out action throughout the race and the huge prestige in winning it. I'd decline Le Mans, because in 9 cases of 10 there's no interest for overall honuors the last seven hours, while the traffic jams at Indy would drive me crazy. At Daytona, you can always stay until the dawn before going home

[F575 GTC]

Out of those you listed i'd go with Le Mans, however i've voted for others because the one i'd most like to go see is the Spa 24 Hours with the FIA GT cars, especially this year if the DSC/British GT/Belgium GT race idea gets the go ahead

I considered including Spa, but I felt that I had to include a couple of rallies as well! Anyway, a great choice of event

[Enzoluis]

Spa.

[Lazy Prodigy]

Spa, but what is on the list Monaco... considering its paid for

[metz]

Spa.

[jeze]

I should've included the Belgian Grand Prix, but anyway, damn

[TheD2JBug]

I wanna do Indy once

Monaco can be affordable.
Stay at a low cost hotel in Nice and take the train daily. A 25 min ride takes you right to the track.
Monaco is good for atmosphere but a terrible track with no passing.

[fifi]

i wanna do Monaco GP at least once

[Tenmantaylor]

Already been to Monaco in 06, would now like to visit the Nordschiefe when the 24 hours is on or the Isle of Man TT.

[911]

I would love to see Monza, especially the old bankings.

[Buttoneer]

Le Mans - the whole experience will linger for an entire day.

[BRK]

All of them.But if I had to pick one,it'd probably be the Belgian Grand Prix,followed home by the Isle of Man Super TT.

[Chewie]

Another one for Spa, I’ve been to 8 of the last 10 Grand Prix there and never get tired of it

[Youichi]

I've already been to a Spa GP, Monza GP and LeMans, which would have been my first three choices from this list, so I voted other.

Suzuka for a GP please

Although any NASCAR race would be 5th on my list.

[Cenotaph]

Spa 24 hours would be my choice, no doubt!

[RoutariEnjinu]

Le Mans is the probably the most amount of motorsport if you're only allowed one. The whole town just converts for a week. You have the drivers parade in the town. You have the campsites and drag strip antics. The atmosphere, and then you have the mammoth race itself.
Where EVER you walk in the town, you'll see people in flipflops and shorts with a General Permit ticket hanging around their necks. On the run down there, and on the way back, you're surrounded by Ferrari's and TVR's etc.
It's an epic road-journey to get there, rather than flying and staying in Hotel as perhaps you would with a GP.
You've got the camping with it's associated BBQ's.

Although I've been twice now, so I'd probably chose Monaco GP for next time.

I picked Le Mans too but I'd have to disagree about the whole town getting into it.

On the Friday before Le Mans last year we went out in downtown Le Mans and it was totally dead.

Aside from the track it is a pretty drab little place.

[stevvy1986]

even though i've been to Le Mans about 8 times, i still have to vote for it

I've only been twice. Maybe we just subconsciously followed the mobs around

The parties at the track and on the roads near the track were pretty awesome, aside from when part of the mob opened the door of our passing car and tried to drag Mrs Potmotr out...!

Of course the whole town is into it even scruteneering takes place downtown during the week with many people watching it.
Then on Friday it's the classic british welcome just north of the town where thousands watch the cars and have a wonderful time.

Dunno where you went on Friday but from 5pm the town was filled with many thousands of people watching the drivers parade and the supercars on display.

Then watched the football on a big screen (France-Netherlands) with loads of people and had dinner and drinks until the last tram to get back to the track for the traditional Friday-night parties.
Maybe you went to the wrong places?

A corowker of mine is a HUGE NASCAR fan. She lives a few minutes from Kanapolis. She went to Daytona 2 years ago. Reported there is no way in hell whe would ever do that again. Her and her husband go to between 3 and 5 NASCAR races a year, but she said Daytoa was by far the worst experience ever.

[rce]

From the list I voted for Rally Finland...but in truth...Spa would be my number one choice.

[Mark A]

been to a few on the List, so of those I haven't been to it has to be the Daytona 500, really want to go and see a big NASCAR event oneday.


Le Mans is an awesome event, and I went to see the Monte Carlo rally the best year in recent history, 1994 when Paddy Hopkirk and Timo Makinnen went back to compete in Mini Coopers. Also before the Concentration run was canned and it was a proper event, same thing for the RAC Rally, never been to see the Rally of Wales.

GP's are fun but ultimately too clinical as an event to visit.

[Alfisti]

Monte Carlo i think, been to Monza and a few of the others but F1 in close proximity is gonna be great.

Bathurst is a great race live, 6 hours is pretty much the perfect length for endurance racing and the cars across the top of the mountain look like nothing else in motorsport today.

[Jedi_F1]

As a belgian.. I don't see the One in the list=

Belgian GP - Spa-Francorchamps!

[zooropa21]

SPA

This is a must in any list.

Getting there and getting out are SUCH a bitch though.

[Peter Leversedge]

Knoxville Sprint Car Nationals
Made it to the 1981 Nationals, the last non wing Nationals but wouild like to return and see a winged Nationals

[Saint Devote]

Monte Carlo of course!

[klyster]

I wanna do Monica at least once too.





.. She's our receptionist and hotter than a day at the Malaysian GP.

[Kooper]

Overseas, the Belgian GP, Japanese GP at Suzuka and the Isle of Man Super TT.

In the states, night race at Bristol and ride on the back of Rossi's bike at Laguna Seca ;)

[WillG]

As much as I would like to see the Monaco GP, my #1 would have to be the Indy 500.

[krapmeister]

Bathurst. Never been, but want to go.

Have been to Le Mans and the British GP from the list. Would've loved to have gone to the Indy 500 back in the CART gory days...

[travbrad]

Spa/Belgian GP

Le Mans would be cool too, or Spa 24hrs.

I'm too broke to even afford the plane ticket though, anyone wanna spot me a few hundred bucks?;)

[VresiBerba]

Voted 'somewhere else', as I would really like to go and watch Nascar at Bristol.

[postajegenye]

I voted Le Mans.

[ashnathan]

Spa, Eu Rouge stand. On the list, Monaco but not in a grand stand, in an appartment, would feel sort of at home as when Indy rolls into Surfers Paradise im perched on a balcony watching them fly by A1 GP this year though!
