Worst race in History

For you, which is the race disputed in worst conditions??

In my opinion, there are Nurburgring 68 and Dallas 84, at the Ring rain and more rain and in Dallas the worst track ever (Words of Jacques Laffite: "The track is pure s%&$" )







What about you?

fuji 76 and 07 were both pretty mental.

The 1st race back at Spa in 85(or was it 83?) was abandoned due to the track breaking up.

Valencia 2008. Epitomised all that is wrong with contemporary F1.

Maybe the title of the thread suggest the worst (boring) race, but you are taking about the worst conditions for a race.

Dallas 84 GP was a crazy race btw :P
I can not imagine driving in the old Nurburgring in rain :O

I have watched F1 since 1996 and for me Japan 2007 GP had the worst conditions I have seen.

Thanks GP3Hotlaps

australia 91 was also a bit damp

1994 Gran Premio di San Marino, Imola.

Suzuka 1994. The race of 2 halves.

don't know about the worst but Hungary 2004 is still certainly the best.

Sepang...2004, or was it 2002? Anyways, for a few laps you couldn't actually see the cars or anything on tv the rain was so bad...but it was only a few laps and most of the race was actually dry. Suzuka 1994 was pretty monsoonal, but I think any combination of Monaco's tight streets and bad rain is a good combination; ie Monaco 1997 is up there too.

I think you're thinking od Sepang 2001.

Actually yeah I think you're right, all I know is the Ferraris walked it despite both going off the circuit and having to pit together, so it was one of their domination years anyways!

Fuji 07, Don´t know how drive in conditions like that.

Sepang 2001 was pretty bad, but that made it great to watch. Most of the corners were like Nurburgring '07 turn 1. :D

The start of Nurburgring '07 was pretty mental.

Another was the Swiss Gp in Berna in 1950, one with the worst climatic conditions and in a hard track

Any race from 2004 onwards at Barcelona. Total Borefest, might be a good track to drive but year after year it produces some of the most boring races on the callender with less overtaking than we see at Monaco.

There is nothing wrong with Barcelona apart of the new silly final chicane. The track itself is great for both drivers and viewers. Better than Craplencia or Boringapore.

I think Magny Bores in France is actually worse than Spain as a boring race. Even in GP3 or GP4 nothing would happen there. It's odd though, the Hungaroring seems to have gotten more exciting as time has passed. I think Interlagos has become the most exciting track, even more so than Spa or Suzuka or Monaco, and not just because it hosted the champ finale the last two years. Even when it was at the start of the season there were often some crazy races there.

Which brings to some other bad Grands Prix condition-wise: Wasn't there lighting at the circuit during the 1996 Brazilian Grand Prix? And while we're on 1996, the Spanish Grand Prix was fairly epic.
