    Hello, long time reader, first time post!

    So Ned Flanders’ Tilke article earlier got me thinking – if you had a typical 19/20 race season what would be your dream venue listing? What tracks would you include if you had Bernie’s job? With all the money being spent making new tracks I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest the same money could be invested to bring back old tracks, so you can include no longer functioning tracks…

    Albert Park (Australia)

    Sepang (Malaysia)

    Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari (San Marino)

    Magny-Cours (France)

    Catalunya [pre-Caixa change and pre-chicane] (Spain)

    Monaco (Monte-Carlo)

    Montreal (Canada)

    Istanbul Park (Turkey)

    Rotation of Hockenheim-Zandvoort-Portimao-Brno-Zolder (Europe)

    Nurburgring (Germany)

    Silverstone (Great-Britain)

    Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium)

    Monza (Italy)

    Suzuka (Japan)

    Interlagos (Brazil)

    And most importantly, stop constructing circuits for the sake of having a F1 GP there. Unless venues have a reasonable turnout or are “classic tracks” they’ll always have an axe hanging over their necks.

    Surprised there aren’t more calls for Portimao, that looks like a good track. Definitely Potrero de los Funes, and I’ve always liked the look of Motorsport Aragon too.

    Australian GP – Melbourne

    Malaysian GP – Sepang

    Argentinian GP – Potero de los Funes

    Brazilian GP – Interlagos

    Turkish GP – Istanbul

    San Marino GP – Imola

    Monaco GP – Monaco

    Canadian GP – Circuit Giles Villeneuve

    USGP – Indianapolis Motor Speedway (Oval)[run as part of the Indy 500]

    Spanish Grand Prix – Jerez

    British Grand Prix – Silverstone

    German Grand Prix – Hockenheim (Old configuration)

    Austrian GP – A1 Ring (as the Osterriech Ring doesn’t exist anymore – ok contradicts previous GP!)

    Hungarian GP – Hungaroring

    Belgian GP – Spa

    Italian GP – Monza

    Singapore GP – Marina Bay Circuit

    Japanese Grand Prix – Suzuka

    I’d say pretty realistic. Ends in Japan like it should do in my eyes. Would love to see F1 Cars in the Indy 500 but that would likely conflict with Monaco and I think the F1 cars would trounce the Indy Cars. I’m not 100% sure though.

    Going to make this a little realistic:

    1: Albert Park, Australia

    2: Sepang, Malaysia

    3: Sakhir, Bahrain

    4: Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi

    5: Motorland Aragon, Spain

    6: Monte Carlo, Monaco

    7: Istanbul Parlk, Turkey

    8: Circuit de Gilles Villeneuve, Canada

    9: Indianapolis Motor Speedway (Moto GP layout), United States*

    10: Silverstone, UK

    11: Nurburgring, Germany

    12: Portimao/Estoril, Portugal (they look pretty similar to me anyway)

    13: Hungaroring (modified for a bit more speed by cutting the chicane and having a diagonal straight from the middle of the final straight into the first of the U-bends), Hungary

    14: Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium

    15: Monza, Italy

    16: Shanghai, China

    17: Suzuka, Japan

    18: Buenos Aires, Argentina

    19: Interlagos, Brazil

    *pending finding out what Austin looks like. And it would only let me draw it in straight lines, so apologies for it being messy.
