2012 FOTA World Championship

[Senna's_right_foot]

If we really want to stand out, maybe a one-lap race around a medium-sized European country.

Take the AustriaRing

It would bring the whole country to a standstill. Because we'd shut the roads!

Better still, leave the roads open. Can't argue with the 'best driver in the world' tag if they have to negotiate traffic as well as 23 other F1 cars. Imagine the drama :

Brundle : And Hamilton is up the inside of Webber! He's really going for it!


Coulthard : No! he'll have to go the long way round now that that Ford Focus estate has pulled out of that side road onto the main road.

How about this

just the one lap then?

Would quite like to see a GP held at Madrid around the Santigo Bernabau (Real Madrid's home).

Also what about Watkins Glen i'd quite enjoy seeing F1 car going around their.

I suggested 8 but 6 laps would do the 200mls F1 distance with a bit on top!

What about the M60 ring round around Manchester would that work?

As we seem to be going down the local street circuit route I have to suggest the Leeds Inner Ring Road. It's wide enough for F1 cars and at 6.7 miles long its nice and twisty like the N'Ring!

In all seriousness, I suppose you could have a calendar like this:

South Africa- Kyalami
Argentina- Buenos Aries
Brazil- Jacarepagua
Turkey- Istanbul Park
Belgium- Zolder
Canada- Mosport
USA- Laguna Seca
France- Is Dijon still knocking around? If not, a Parisian street circuit.
Britain- Brands Hatch
Germany- Oschesleben
Austria- If it is possible to ressurrect the old Osterreichring
Holland- Zandvoort
Italy- Imola
Portugal- Estoril
Spain- Jerez
Japan- Motegi
Australia-Adelaide

Is this going to happen? No, but its fun figuring it out!

Of course, if we didn't have circuits, we wouldn't be constrained by borders.

Wouldn't that become a rally?

 

[Jen]

And that covers the bits of Europe that most people don't give a stuff about, I think

Yeah, but also with most borders, I think.
