2012 FOTA World Championship

[teabagyokel]

You cannot select any venue which will "host a 2012 Formula One race", but you need to run your championship at some circuits. Which would you choose?

What must we do, select a venue that is not on the 2012 calander as a host?

EDIT: IF so then I still think that Kyalami is a miss from the calander.

Thats the idea!

 

[Senna's_right_foot]

off the top of my head:

Magny Cours
Imola
Istanbul
Donington
A1/Red Bull Ring or whatever it's called thesedays
Basically anything not designed by Hermann Tilke.

 

[Sarinaide]

As Above, going with Kyalami.

 

[Jru]

Turkey, Fuji, Jerez, Indianapolis, Magny cours, red bull ring, Nurburgring(?)

 

[Senna's_right_foot]

Could possibly also use Mosport and Sebring across the pond.

 

[MCLS]

Jarama, Esteriol (sp), Laguna Seca

A1/Red Bull Ring or whatever it's called thesedays
Basically anything not designed by Hermann Tilke.

Tilke remodelled the A1-Ring!

I can't think of many great tracks (not been ruined/abandoned) that are suitable for F1 (Bathurst). Adelaide possibly. Korea was great last year, have to wait and see if it can keep it up. Donington has barely changed in 80 years.

Ah didn't realise Tilke had remodelled the A1-Ring, haven't seen a race there for a while.

What, you mean like Turkey and A1 Ring?

As above. And Istanbul is an exception. Feel free to post your own ideas though

I'll be as greedy and self-interested as the buggers who run the sport, shall I?

 

[teabagyokel]

I'm thinking:

There is certainly one very difficult turn in that lot!

 

[Slyboogy]

Where's the pitlane?

In the football stadium?
