A poll on the best world track then we can vote on the Knockhills next time if some one comes up with a concise list.......SPA gets my vote.

Spa, without a shadow of a doubt

It has to be Belgium if only be for the great tobacco fight going on every year.
Belgian law prohibits the use of tobacco advertisement on cars-uniforms etc...
We inherited this from the enviroment morons who were part of the government for a blue monday.

what about the old nurburgring (or however its splet...)

spa is a goodun though, but i always liked laguna seca from GT2. only seen a few real races there though.

I think the good circuits have to be the ones that you 'know' even if you've never been to them. everyone know's monaco, and while not necessarily a great track, i'd love to drive it

the old nurburg ring as mentioned by joel is good too, is it called the norstlaffe or something?

your inconclusively, Ned

I used to be pretty good at Monaco in GT3
Cool track esp because it gives schuey the willies.
It's the least sanitised track used in F1 i think and that makes it special.
I've not got much personal experience of tracks though. I should make the effort to go to more motorsport events.
Ned, can you get me into any of the events you go to?

I watched CHAMP car racing from Laguna Seca (sp?) last night, on Sky.

My, it's fun watching high-power open-wheelers trying to get round that "Corkscrew" corner! For a brief moment they have next to no grip as they go over the top...

I'd love to see F1 racing there, at least once - probably not high-profile enough for Bernie Ecclestone.

The corkscrew is brilliant, really tricky to get just right.

The old KYALAMI was good. Rode my chopper mk1 round the the track many years ago!

Mackie,

I'm at silverstone this saturday for the last 2 races of the season, not sure if we have any spare tickets though as the tight ar** are only ginving 2 or 3 tickets per entry these days, the number of times i've hid in the toilet of the camper as we go in so we have an extra ticket

Ned.

how could anyone vote monaco!

racing involves overtaking, not f&*king about on yachts wearing sunglasses.
