I would love to compile a list of driver's favourite tracks in GTL. It could form the basis of a future series. If you can, could you list your favourite circuits. It might be a top 3, top 5, top 10 or just one. Thank you

1. Interlagos (Every Layout) 2. Dijon (All Layouts) 3. Brno (Modern Layout) 4. Kyalami (Old) 5. Sugo 6. Aida (Modern) 7. Enna (Modern) 8. Istanbul Park (F1) 9. Bahrain (F1) 10. Abu Dhabi (F1) 11. Indianapolis (2006 F1)
And i want to see some night races aswell. And the most important think is the combination between car and track. You cant choose the Minis at Monza for example.

This would be an easy list to make if I could post mental images. Lacking that opportunity as well as a memory for names and years, I came up with this: Targa Florio Circuit de la Sarthe (must have Porsche curves, must NOT have Mulsanne chicanes) Spa-Franchorchamps (version with bus stop on the left) Nordschleife (also VLN) Monaco Nemuno Žiedas Circuit du Mas du Clos Laguna Seca Zandvoort Knockhill Bridgehampton Lime Rock Park Watkins Glen (NO Inner Loop) Willow Springs Hidden Valley österreichring (absolutely NOT the A1-Ring) Oran Park Raceway

Oulton Park, (Original, not the ones with chicanes) Charade, modern or original Cadwell Donington (National only, hate GP variant) Interlagos (any) Silverstone (original)
EDIT: Suzuka Elkhart Lake Rouen (prefer original) Nordschliefe
+ any tracks with long straights and no corners, so we can keep up with H

Back from the surgery and browsing through the forum, feeling a little sore but otherwise OK. Not sure when I will be behind the wheel again as I have to avoid exertion with my left arm, which might be a little difficult as I run FF quite high for realism. Maybe in a few days the bruising will subside ? Interesting topic Tony, but as has been said I find it is not just the circuit, but the car/circuit combination that produces favourites. Most of my favourite tracks have already been listed. The only one I have not seen is Monaco older versions ( have just checked and I see that Dominick has already got that one ). I quite like street circuits with saloons and older cars. TBH Tony, I do enjoy discovering/learning new tracks as it keeps things fresh. If we always drove the same strips of tarmac it could get quite boring, but you do a fine job of varying the menu. Monaco

You could always attend races just to spectate, up to you, no pressure I'll list your only choice as Monaco otherwise in the final reckoning I will overlook it.

Guy's please add your choices even if someone else has the track listed. Remember I'm looking for duplicates etc.
Otherwise I won't be able to tally which are the most asked for.

Tracks that don't have too long straights, in general, unless we drive them in very powerful cars.

Interesting, but not entirely relevant in this thread. Track names are what we desire here.

Could end up with a very long list so I'll try to keep it brief.... Been so long I can't remember all the names, but these stood out for me for a variety of reasons, either the track was interesting in it's own right or the racing there was always entertaining. Donington Brands Hatch GP Watkins Glen Spa Portimao Assen Mugello Rattlesnake Park Hilltop Moirana Aragon Zandvoort Road America Pace Park Montreal Albert Park Silverstone I will admit it's been so long since I was a regular that I've forgotten a lot of the places we raced at over the 12 odd years at NoGrip, so this list is by no means exhaustive. Had fun remembering though Special note for Dom, no Targa or Le Mans on my list, plus ca change mon ami.....
