    Understood... of course, neither are as bad as Magny-Cours. Of contemporary circuits it's a shame Paul Ricard was dismissed by F1.
    More classic tracks returned would be nice, but we know Bernie chooses locations by $$$. Also: enough with the Tilke tracks, please.

    If only you knew the access roads to Paul Ricard......and it has only limited accomodation, up to 5000 people maximum.

    Yeah, I know... also one of the reasons Estoril was never improved. Other reasons had to do with safety and the speed F1 cars are capable of, too much for places like Jarama or Zandvoort as well. Are F2 cars still raced at Brno?

    with the optional chicanes in the Mistral straight, I have an idea that PR would not be a faster track than Monza, the Zandvoort mainstreet was shortened over 20 years ago, to make room for holidays houses. I don't know whether F2 runs at Brno, I only hear about that track when there is FIA GT or toruingcars (or moto GP).
    But I am sure that Bernie has had a look (albeit a brief one) at PR, as he owns the facility.
