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

A few little snippets

Lap of the Gods , Watkins Glen, Tyrrell Onboard.

Oh, he's giving it plenty of welly! Unlike most of the other Lap of the Gods stuff, where they usually only dilly-dally around.

Nurburgring, Bathurst, Mosport, Suzuka, Spa, Phillip Island and Brands Hatch

Old or even the current Spa Francorchamps circuit. Too bad the weather is so iffy.

I gotta say Bathurst/Mount Panorama. Not many others are so fully committed to long straights, crazy hard technical sections, and using the terrain to their advantage. So many flat tracks nowadays.

I think Monoco is the greatest circuit. It is very technical and challenging with tight, tricky corners. So much history there.

Obviously the Ring is the greatest (literally) but besides that, I'd pick Barcelona-Catalunya. Technical, sometimes fast-sweeping, and sometimes hard on brakes. Very good to push the limit of aerodynamic wings, tyres and drivers while not being exposed to brutal danger.

Some years ago the Speedvision network was still active here in the states and had the F1 broadcast with David Hobbs, Bob Varsha, and Steve Matchett commentating. They used to do two broadcasts, one live and then the recorded version at a regularly scheduled time. As the opening introduction to the Nurburgring race one year, Hobbs (I think) opens the broadcast with "Here we are at the greatest racetrack in the world! And we'll be racing on the track right next to it..." I watched to recorded broadcast to hear it again, but they cut intro.
