Oh! And I believe it is an underrated circuit, forgot to mention that. I know our surface was damaged last time but when it is fixed up you will see good racing like before :^) .

I am canadian and I was gutted to see it taken off the calender. I think it is a great track, lots of fun, lots of history and formula 1 should remain there. Now that this is settled I turn my attention to silverstone, another great track but it seems like Donington is making a return for 2011. And the layout looks like another one of these modern tracks with no passing.

Yes, I was able to walk the entire track, as it is open for cycling, rollerblading, walking, etc..when there is not an event going on.

I could see where the patchwork at the hairpin had been done before the 2008 race, with the remainder of the track apparently being in good condition. From seeing some of the newer pit buildings on TV, I can understand how the CGV pits are small and outdtaed by comparison, but they should be fine for the next race at least.

It was quite a unique experience, as I imagine there are few other circuits around the world where tourists can come in and tour the place when there is no racing Three cheers to the return of CGV.

Great news that Canada is back on the F1 calendar. It often produced good races and always seemed to be a sell out, so it should never have been taken off the calendar to start with.

If I ran F1, we would have 18 races a year: 6 at Spa, 6 at Interlagos and 6 at Montreal. That’s all you need!

FIA rules dictate a length along a straight of maximum 2km, hence why the chicanes were put in at Le Mans

This is great news I love this track. It always produces great racing like Interlagos but is never considered one of the best.
