What do you think is the greatest Circuit in the world?

Some like them fast, some slow but always a challenge. what is your favourite circuit of all time?

Mine is Silverstone, because its where it all really started. straw bales and runways have given way to tarmac and tyre walls, but its still basically the same track layout. And its got it all speed, challenge, and spectacle...plus its british :D !

Monza and old Imola, also Indy (oval) and a little passion for the old Nurburging. I think also Montjuich should have been amazing with all that crowd but my first choice is Autodromo Nazionale di Monza

Well. all knows which one.

But not many people knows many things about the Nordschleife. It wasn't a "track" really. It was just a part of the Nürburgring. When they wasn't the Nürburgring that the F1 use, the Nordschleife was used but with the Südschleife many times.

Anyway, the 22km are awesome, but VERY VERY dangerous. Even NOW. So if you want to go there, don't think that you are a MASTER OF DRIVING. Especially if you drive bikes. They are 1 people who are killed each month average, and sometimes 2 on 1 crash. But if you know your limits, no problems 8)

I'd have to say Le Mans, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Nürburgring are equally great, and stand out from the rest, for all sorts of reasons, which we might some day discuss in some other thread.

From the current F1 calender I'd say Spa, from all the tracks, I'd still say spa.

My fav american circuit is the old laguna sega (such a sweet ride in GPL 8) )
