The Pescara circuit was established in 1924 and in 1957 hosted a round of the Formula 1 World Championship. The 15-mile circuit remains the longest track used for a World Championship race and featured a four mile straight beside the Adriatic and then a wild ride inland through the Abruzzo hills. It included a level crossing and several hill villages. It was at Pescara in 1934 that Ferrari's rising star Guy Moll was killed. The home of the Coppa Acerbo in the 1930s, Pescara hosted a 12 Hour sportscar race in the 1950s. The track faded away in the 1960s as it was impossible for the organizers to guarantee safety.
The Spa-Francorchamps track in Belgium is the longest circuit used during the Formula One World Championship series. At 4.3 miles a lap, this circuit takes an F1 car nearly two minutes to complete, which is a long time in F1 terms. Because of the length of the circuit a complete race is only 44 laps.
This track is a great favourite of the drivers because of the fast, challenging corners, particularly the Eau Rouge corner, but there are some concerns over the high speeds and the overall safety of the track.
And now,Suzuka,Japan track which is also one of the longest tracks in Formula One.

The longest one-off track was the Pescara circuit in Italy(25 km); the longest track to host more than 10 GP's was the old Nurburgring, the Nordschleife(22km).
The longest track on which F1 raced in recent years is the Spa-Francorchamps. The old version had 14.1 kilometers, the current one currently has 6.993 kilometers and will get at least an extra 200 because of recent upgrades(moving back the Bus Stop chicane and lengthening the start-finish straight, pushing the La Source hairpin further).
