Please feel free to post yours as well.

1. Spa-Francochamp- seperates real man from children

2. Monza - Fun to see the actions, hype, and insanity

3. Laguna Seca - most challenging and scary...tests your guts!!!!

4. Indy -F1 Circuit...looks nice and big and unique

5. California Long Beach~~~ (Maybe this one should be at the top)- girls girls girls!!!! and Nice sceanic view...

6. Monaco - prestigious

7. Suzuka - fast and slow...perfect combo

8. Hockenheime - pure adrenalin rush

9. Imola - Purely Italian...Must for world class racing

10. Darlington Super Speed way - This is the famous "Widow Maker" One little mistake and you end up against concrete wall at 60 degree angle at 300+ KM per hour.

Also another favourite is Indy 500 circuit...why? It's historic and fast~~~~

" Laguna Seca - most challenging and scary...tests your guts!!!!"

Hell naw. This has got to be the most overrated course ever. Take away the corkscrew and what have you got? A series of boring mid speed corners. No imagination at all.

No particular order:

Monaco
Spa
Suzuka
Road America
Road Atlanta
Bathurst
Adelaide
Paul Ricard
Mosport

3 Monaco ( only from an armchair viewers perspective )
4 INDY

[Ali_G]

I have to agree with Jayway.

The corkscrew is Laguna Seca. After that it is just a series of tight corenrs like the one leading onto the starting striaght and the one ending it.

The Nordshleif was a real racers circuit.

I've only been to three, so I feel I can only comment on those:

Circuit Gilles Villeneuve Montreal
St. Jovite/Mount Tremblant Quebec
Mosport, Ontario.

Of the three -- St. Jovite was my favorite. Glad to hear that ALMs may be there next year. Mosport was next. Too bad these tracks are no longer used for F1 -- but I undertand the rationale.

"Take away the corkscrew and what have you got? A series of boring mid speed corners. No imagination at all." -JayWay


Laguna Seca is built around the Cork Screw. And for series of "Mid speed corners", they are pretty fast~~ (Faster than Monaco, certainly.)

I had a chance to drive Porsche 911 GTS (the production version of GT2 class racing car...courtesy of my die-hard Porsche-fan friend) in Laguna Seca a couple of month ago.

Full rev start into #1 corner and tight turn upto #4 corners. And then full throttle, flat down on gas, and uphill straight...You can't see the approaching corner...and then there it is: the Cork Screw.
When I was skimming across the Cork, I felt the gravity changing in the car. It was worse than roller coaster.

But anyways, that's why I think Laguna Seca is one of the best track in the world.

[karim marouf]

I've driven Laguna Seca a few times. I don't think it's super-scary because there aren't any really high-speed corners. However, unlike the other tracks that I've driven on, there's little run off room in some corners.

It's a fun track, but nothing I don't think most people would say it's anything like Susuka, Spa, or the Nordschleife.

It sure is a beautiful track though.

[TT]

1.The autostrada between Imola and Forli (San Marino 1997)
2.The footbridge between stations at Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium 1995)
3.The Macdonalds drive through near Albert Park (Melbourne GP 1999)

[Jhope]

3-Zandvoort (pre 1979)
4-Bathurst
5-Montreal
6-Elkhart Lake
7-Sears Point
8-Interlagos (1973)
9-Monaco
10-Monza (pre 1972)

Mmm...run-off area at the corkscrew - non-existant...so not likely, but even if they did there still wouldn't be any overtaking!
