How about that new Portuguese track, I forget the name, looked amazing when A1 gp raced on it.

Some teams might go testing at Silverstone, but serie is never going to start..

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

Added Portimão as option to Estoril. Hey, this is just a something to wish for. You never know...

Silverstone
Portimao
Hockenheim
Monaco
Nurburgring
Spa
Monza
Mugello
Turkey
Laguna Seca
Montreal
Suzuka
Singapore
Melbourne
Interlagos

I excluded the current tracks because of contract issues with Bernie. Silverstone is an option since Uncle Bernie doesn't like that track and wants Donington anyway. They swap between Fuji and Suzuka so I thought that two tracks are out as well.

Well, It doesn't matter wheather A race in f1 is gonna change, what does matter very most is if the race gonna change us.

I would love to see the cars race at Imola again. And Adelaide as well.
What about Magny-Cours, will F1 race there next season or not?
Long Beach is another track I would love to see on the calendar.

I quite like Bahrain, as Martin Brundle said during the Istanbul Grand Prix, Istranbul and Bahrain are the two Tilke tracks that flow quite nicely.

Also, you (slider) missed Monte Carlo, Monza, Singapore, Spa off the list. I think matt3454 is perfect, exceopt it needs Brands Hatch as the European Grand Prix.

Bernie owns Turkey, so they won't be going there.

Also, i'm sure there is some clause in the contract for monaco, monza, spa etc. that stops them from hosting another series of this kind. Max and Bernie would rather die than let FOTA have their own Monaco GP, i'm sure. Should the breakaway go ahead, the FIA are going to want to keep as many good things as they have, and these tracks are one of the major drawcards.

Hmm, tracks are going to be one of the major drawbacks for the FOTA Series if it goes ahead.

Bernie has no arrangement with Monaco. Prince Albert has stated there will be no Grand Prix without Ferrari.

That's good, thanks for that David.

Additionally, the question is........Will those tracks want to host FIA F1 races if none of the FOTA teams are present??

What my post is about is simple. If FOTA have a breakaway series, and the FIA go ahead with F1, then we might have 2 series. Then we would most probably not have FOTA races at the current tracks since they would have contracts with Bernie Eccelstone and Co. for F1 races. So, if I was in charge of choosing tracks to host the FOTA series, these are the tracks I would choose. However, as "dierome" suggested, some of the current tracks would breakaway as well. It's just something to think about. That's all.

I've just read that Abu Dhabi are open to FOTA to sign them for the new series if they wish, even though they have a contract with F1... maybe the circuits won't be exclusive to FIA F1? Or at least some of them?

You know you want to. [judgegrudge.mybrute.com]

There's nothing stopping the circuits having contracts with both series. What would happen would be a race to sign exclusive contracts, but as I would expect, most of the circuits would follow suit with FOTA.

Im sure that Monza (Italian GP) have clause where is Ferrari included. Not forget that Ferrari is like official national team for italians...


Here are my proposals (in no particular order)

Monza
Monte Carlo
Montreal
Paul Ricard
Silverstone
Suzuka
Nurburgring
Mugello
Spa
Singapure
Bahrein
Donington
Adelaide
Brno
Algrave
Barcelona (older layout)
Sepang
Mexico
...and one USA GP (dont have one exact favorite, even like some american tracks, even like to see it racing on an oval, why not? like special event )
