I like how you call Laguna Seca basic and how you mention Paul Ricard (which is a good test track) and Magny Cours (which is a god awful track no matter how you put it). Buenos Aires was meh. Too mickey mouse-y. The only good track was Imola, but it was a borefest as it was near impossible to overtake and the infrastructure were not up to par with the rest.andrew wrote:My whole point is that there seems to be only one circuit that will currently meet Bernie Ecclestones demands - Indy. I'm guessing that any other circuit would need a massive amount of investment and work done and would loose much of its character. Indy was not a particularly good F1 race but I would like to see F1 at Laguna Seca. Sadly it is probably too short and in some repects basic for F1.
When there are circuits like Imola, Buenos Aries, Paul Ricard, Mangy Cours standing idle, it seems more sensible to use those then spend a huge amount of cash on upgrading a circuit in the US for a race that may not last.
But this has nothing to do with my personnal opinion of America but is to do with not wanting to see what may be a good track get ruined - like Donnington.
Indy was not a flashy track but gave some great duels and fights over its stint as the host of the US GP.
