Surprised nobody has mentioned the Osterreichring... Fabulous setting, fabulous track!

Saw Gilles go round the outside of Mansell in '81 GP at what was then known as the Bosch Curve - a memory that will stay with me for a very long time. Anybody familiar with the circuit will know why - brave!

Well my top three seem to be very popular
1) Spa
2) Le Mans
3) Brands Hatch

Nurburgring was wonderful 30 years ago but it is now a test track for rich kids rather than a real race track so can't put that on my list.

Went to Cadwell Park a few weeks ago to watch bikes, parts of the circuit were imo fantastic. Although how the hell they race cars there with a track that narrow i've no idea Roll Eyes

Le Mans for the whole all encompassing depth of the place
Rowrah as the first place I ever watched a race
Oulton Park as, although it's been changed a bit, it still has a bit of the feel of yesteryear about it
Brands GP for much the same reasons
Bathurst for the sheer spectacle of the place

If I had all the money I've ever spent on drink, I think on balance, I'd probably spend it on drink.

yea can see that about Oulton Park, still stuck in a bit of a time warp, which is nice (and only a few miles from me)

but why no Spa? Huh

And let's not forget Dundrod for anyone brave or barmy enough to race cars there:
