[QUOTE="cider_and_toast, post: 6879, member: 43"] The trouble is, and where many F1 fans feel let down, is that with many of these new venues the designer has been given the opportunity to create a circuit from the ground up that would enhance modern F1 racing and in almost every case they have failed. If we ran a simple "best circuits" poll how many would be circuits built in the last 10 or so years? If you look at the cost of general admission tickets (which are way too high) a GP still dosn't make it's money from this area but more from the corperate and sponsor packages. It's a bit like Concorde syndrome where it eventually made a profit by charging a price that rich people were prepared to pay knowing full well that the general public could never afford to. Every time Bernie talks about facilities at tracks it dosn't take a genius to figure out he's not talking about number of public toilets and the leg room in the grand stands. I still think that a modern track could be designed with both racing and safety in mind no matter where it is in the world. [/QUOTE]
