I’d love to see London, but not sure what landmarks you’d go for
19th January 2012, 14:21 at 2:21 pm #190558damonsmedleyParticipantParis. New York. Rome.
I know that’s three, but I’d love to see proper street circuits with scenery and bumps than characterless carparks like Valencia.
19th January 2012, 14:27 at 2:27 pm #190559SouthAussie94ParticipantAdelaide!!
19th January 2012, 14:31 at 2:31 pm #190560Jack_HiderParticipantEdinburgh.
19th January 2012, 16:22 at 4:22 pm #190561SlrParticipantI’d like to see a Grand Prix in somewhere in Kingston, Jamaica, the atmosphere would be intense as hell. I’d also be interested to see how an Formula One race on the highways of Tokyo would go, but that’s probably because I’ve seen too many movies.
19th January 2012, 16:27 at 4:27 pm #190562robk23ParticipantOxford! The architecture would look amazing as a backdrop for an F1 circuit.
19th January 2012, 16:46 at 4:46 pm #190563SamSParticipantwhat about aroung one of the palms in Dubai, that would be amaxing as an arial shot
19th January 2012, 17:04 at 5:04 pm #190564EstesarkParticipantBeing biased, I’d love a Finnish GP, even if it’s just a one-off, at some point of my life. I know it’s completely unrealistic – Finland is a very small country in terms of population, though I’m sure the grandstands would be packed. Have you ever watched a race without seeing at least one Finnish flag being waved in the crowd? I don’t think I have. Motor racing is a big deal here.
However. I don’t really like street circuits, so I’d rather see a new, purpose-built track, and that could be anywhere in the world so long as it’s an exciting track.
19th January 2012, 19:16 at 7:16 pm #190565EnigmaParticipantTrondheim would be phenomenal.
20th January 2012, 0:41 at 12:41 am #190566IcthyesParticipantChicago. Lakeshore Drive in the summer evening would be spectacular.
20th January 2012, 1:37 at 1:37 am #190567Prisoner MonkeysParticipantIt’s not a city. In fact, it’s not really a place. It’s a road – the Transfagarasan Highway, which Top Gear declared to be the best road in the world. We just need to figure out how to build a 5-6km circuit on it.

otherwise, New York.. everyone says it, and it’s probably inpossible to do. but having a race that goes through Times Square would probably be the most amazing thing in the world20th January 2012, 10:55 at 10:55 am #190570ThecollaroyboysParticipantIt has to be Sydney. Can imagine a track across the harbour bridge, down the Cahill Expwy, Macquarie St, through the middle of town and around Millers Pt and back for a reverse across the bridge for a u-turn. Now that’s scenery!
20th January 2012, 11:32 at 11:32 am #190571electroliteParticipantI’ve always thought a Scandinavian Grand Prix has been missing from the calendar, given the racing heritage and the cooler temperatures could make for some interesting and different racing. I’m not talking the Arctic circle or anything like that (way too cold!), I’m thinking perhaps Stockholm or somewhere south in Sweden. I might draw up a street circuit if I can be bothered.
