The obvious no. 1 on my motorsports bucket list is visiting Le Mans 24h. Just the greatest single race in the World.

 

Then again, I want to visit an F1 race some day, unless they completely destroy the series. The race I'd like to visit the most would be Silverstone. Of course, Monaco is the blue riband race of F1 but it feels so posh. Britain just feels like the home country and visiting the British GP would be cool. Another GP I'd like to visit more than Monaco is the Italian GP at Monza. I assume Monza has a great atmosphere, even though I'm not even a Ferrari fan. And of course, Monaco would be cool to visit, yet not the one I want to visit the most.

 

As for other series, Indy 500 would be cool to visit.

Stuff you want to do, experience at least once in life.

I want to see Schumacher hopping around the paddock and falling off motorbikes again. Much better than it is now.

Not only because of racing but the USGP in Austin would be cool. I think Austin is a great place and would be cool to visit there. COTA isn't a classic yet but very decent for a track of this decade.

The obvious no. 1 on my motorsports bucket list is visiting Le Mans 24h. Just the greatest single race in the World.

 

Le mans 24h is on the list but it aint close to being the greatest race in the world.

Not to me,,,

 

Isle of Man TT.

Ulster Gp.

NurburgRing 24h.

Drive around the Nurburgring.

 

F1 is pretty much dead to me, nothing special about it anymore, only watch the race if I got nothing else to do or watch.

OK great topic so I'll give my list too :)

Those I've accomplished
Bathurst 1000 - done (Camping on top of the mountain is downright dangerous !)
Adelaide GP - done
Melbourne GP - done 5 times
Bathurst 12 hour - done (was lucky enough to crew for an HQ team and it was fantastic !)

Those I still hope to do (realistically)
Phillip Island Moto GP
Singapore GP
Malaysian GP

Those I'd love to attend (but not realistic)
Isle of Man TT - That would be the ultimate !
Spa - Because......just because :)
Indy 500
Nurburgring - yeah the real one (to just see it would be like a pilgrimage for me)

And on a sad note I'd like to visit the spot that Ayrton had his life ending crash.
Just to pay my respects, and maybe lay a trubute, because he meant so much to me.

I'd definitely like to watch a major motorsports event at least once in my life, be it a F1 race or the 24h of Le Mans, or something along those lines (well few things match that, but you get my point). But I don't keep lists of what I "must do" - whenever the opportunity comes to do something cool, it's time to do it regardless of if it's in a list or not.  :up:

For me

 

Loads I havent done but have no interest in stuff like Le Mans, Indy.

Done a few aswell.

 

Would love to do a proper NHRA drag meeting.

 

A mile dirt track for bikes in the US

 

Monster Cup supercross finale

 

One of the big rallycross events in Scandinavia.

 

1000 Lakes rally in Finland.

 

MotoGP in Mugello

 

Isle of Man TT just once on a helicopter and not camping!

 

One of the big Berg Cup events in central Europe, as Peat mentions St Ursanne at the end of the long straight, watchign Faggioli blat through at 150mph would be amazing!

 

Classic Sanremo in Italy.

 

Pikes Peak but would have prefferred it dirt.

 

Not interested in NASCAR, sports cars, F1 or anything like that so the big events don't appeal at all.

 

Oh and to all those that havent beenyou have to try the Ring, I have never known people with no interest in motorsport at all, men and women alike, fall in love with the place as much as some of my friends, it oozes, fear, respect, danger, friendship like no other venue I have experienced.
