For me, it's Spa for Eau Rouge.

I fully agree with Spa. A true road course that challenges the bravery of any racer. I also like Monza for it's history and atmosphere that even spills though the TV set. The old Nurburgring was a great track too, but the new one stinks.

It really depends... My favorite is Spa. The drivers love the challenge of the track, and it shows. It's a demanding and unforgiving track --- just ask Zonta & Villeneuve about that. :oP In addition, it offeres a variety of passing opportunities which make for a interesting race for the fans, too. (That's my only issue with Monaco-- little opportunity for passing. But as an event, it's the granddaddy of all GPs.)
I like the Nurburgring and Monza for the same reason. I'm reserving judgement on Malaysia/Sepang, since it's so new, but I think it also has the potential to provide consistently good racing.
I wish I could like Indy better, since it's my hometown track, but it really is a bit like a karting track for the F1 cars. That said, it can provide some pretty good action, especially at the first complex of turns....
Ultimately, though, I have to pick Spa. It's exactly what an F-1 course should be: challenging turns, considerable elevation changes, and passing opportunities of varying degrees of difficulty. An ideal track is liked by both the fans and the drivers, and this seems to really be the case with Spa.

definitely spa, eau rouge is a high lite, something about that track really make it feel like a much bigger circuit, but the chicane a maggots in silverstone is the best display of an f1 cars performance what i see and what i know about lateral gs doesn't add up those cars should be flying off the track, it will be a shame if we loose that track

Monacco is the best ride in sports. The city looking at the Mediterranean. The race is so good they have a turn called the Casino turn. It's a dream to race there. For that day, F1 becomes the sport of Kings. The only thing missing from that race is a challenger that can pass the pole setter. This race is the only race that can only be won from pole to pole 90% of the times. Unique, Sophisticated and yet brutal like a city drive.

monaco. simply put, monaco is the greatest spectacle in all of auto racing. havent we all dreamed of taking a F1 car around our local city streets? moncao brings this dream to life. imo monaco is the circuit with the greatest skill/talent needed to drive fast, especially in the good old days when drivers had no aids and had to work that manuel transmission. in order to be fast at monaco you must have tremandous courage as you are cut ever so closely to the barriers and brake at the last possible moment. if thier's rain, then any body has a chance at winning monaco because a wet moncao is the great equalizer in F1. nothing brings out a drivers true skill like a wet monaco.

I love Monaco. The environment is great. It is a great show! It demands a well balanced car. It has to be fast where drivers can, but also count with the ideal set up for slow curves. Besides, did you ever imagine that a F1 GP could take place just on the streets you pass everyday? Isn't it cool?

SPA, and Monaco.......two shoe in's, but for me Indy-
1. Its the race i get to attend each and every year.
2. Great atmosphere, great people,
3. modestly priced
4. I live in Indiana.
And in respone to WHOs' response, Your wrong, you've never seen the crowd then...allways seems pretty crowded to me, especially for only really using about a mile of the Oval....I figure of All the seat available around the "whole track" about 75% are full, ON Race day... ...... NOT to bad for a Sport that is "not" that popular in America.............. Just food for thought

I agree. Spa for Eau Rouge. A track laid through the Black Forest and almost 4.5 miles. AWESOME!!!

I like Monaco Gp.
the race is on a street cicuit and a driver has to deliver just about everything to win
There are no straight lines and the car's performance isnt everythign. Driver's skill comes into the limelight.
There are always chances of overtaking and making d race more exciting. There are more chances of accidents and d race gits even more exciting.
