But after seeing the drivers reactions in Korea, I think only Hamilton would have the balls to race there.

Any F1 race at Brands Hatch...
Its a fantasic track but driving the F1 car of iRacing at Brands Hatch shows theres just no way you could overtake anywhere.

Please replace Circuit de Catalunya with it. In this day and age it should be possible to make it safe for the drivers.

You never know - Bernie's shortcut idea taken to an extreme?original Hockenheim not that it could ever happen now

Same here. All those little houses right next to the track, the trees, the tifosi, the track was pretty cool too (though maybe not always the greatest race).I miss the atmosphere of Imola.
I adored Adelaide. The 94 GP there was the first race i remember getting up in the middle of the night for. I didnt even pay attention to Hill/Schuey, i was just devastated Berger ran wide at that corner.
I think a race at Road America would be a great spectacle. Probably my favouite track i ever watched the CART cars race at. I'll always miss the old Hockenheim, even if it didnt provide the best of races.

- Bring back manual shifting.
- Teams can enter 3rd cars if they wish.
- Allow 1-car teams again.
- Bring back the bus stop at Spa.
- Keep slapping team principals until the agree to change the ugly liveries (and there are so many this year) to sexy ones. Blood red Ferraris with black wings, orange McLarens, etc.
- Stop the hypocrisy of which tracks are not 'safe' enough for races. If Singapore and Monaco are safe enough, then Zandvoort, Road America, Watkins Glen, Long Beach, etc. are surely safe enough as well. If we're all going to hold our breath and think happy thoughts at some races, why not at all of them?

I believe he might be referring to one or two of the rather grim fatal accidents Watkins Glen has given us. The baby blue armco wasn't always baby blue .
True, they have done a lot of work to it, the runoff at T1 has a very F1 look about it.
I would never want F1 there though, knowing what would happen to it. Luckily its in the middle of nowhere so its perfectly safe ;)

no love for the portuguese gp?
I wouldn't complain if Estoril returned. There was some good racing there, I think the the way cars came off the last turn allowed them to follow closely and get a tow along the straight which gave them opportunity to pass in turn one.

+1The South African Grand Prix (A world Championship deserves an event on the African continent)
A Mickey Mouse track with serious safety issues and no chance to make it commercially.Please add Zandvoort as well ...
Have a look at the F2 race when young Henry Surteese died there as a result of insufficient run offs. That accident could never have happened on an F1 certified track. They have zero chance to bring that track up to standard and F1 should never race there. http://www.youtube.c...feature=relatedAny F1 race at Brands Hatch...
+1 A crying shame that Bernie blackmailed them into destroying that track and busting themselves in the process. I hate the old bugger for that stunt.original Hockenheim not that it could ever happen now
+1 All the Spanish tracks are boring!Montjuic. Please replace Circuit de Catalunya with it. In this day and age it should be possible to make it safe for the drivers.

Uhm, did youk now he died from the impact of the tire while he was still on the track? And did you miss Massa's accident just after that in Hungary?

Racing fatalities were a regular occurrence in the 1960s and '70s, but check the Nostalgia Forum, that particular accident carries with it an especial horror.
