I live in Europe and can go to one of the EU races next year with a friend. Not so much interested in the track itself, but more the entire experience of the race itself, the vibe in the grandstands, the accessibility of the track, parties afterwards, etc. I went to the Ring this year in Germany and it was fun, but the logistics of getting to and leaving the track were brutal and there were no hotels within 50km of the track. We would arrive Friday night and leave Sunday. Thanks in advance for your help.

Spa. I love the old track and I am so glad it has it's back on the circuit this year.

SPA. The run up to Eau Rouge is beautiful and amazing in pitcutres. With the sounds of the cars going up would be just mind blowing.
If the Japanese GP was held at Suzuka that would be a close second. Being present when the cars go WOT through the 130R would just be amazing.
Some noteables although would be the A-1 ring and the old Hockenheim Ring and Monza. The blast into the forest was just amazing with speeds reaching 220mph. But now it was been neutralized. If a Ferrari wins at Monza the crowds are amazing.

Like many have said Spa is a great circuit to watch mainly for me is the Eau Rouge but when looking for entertainment I'd opt for the Canadian GP, always something to see that weekend. The Ring is also good since well the weather and how you get to see drivers play bouncy on a spin dryer if they make the slightest mistake. Fuji and Suzuka have proved to be quite good too. Brazil for just about a million reasons! But then again, the last three races always have something for everyone to see...
But as for 08, it's gotta be Singapore, I wanna see how it pans out. But as for Europe since you've been to the Ring, how bout Hockenheim next year?...

Like many others here have said I would choose Spa. I would like to sit at the top of Eau Rouge and watch the cars come from the top and go all the way through.
I would also like to go to Monza and maybe sit in the tree areas around the Lesmos. I've heard that there are some great sounds that come through those woods.

Silverstone was a blast this year because of all the over taking. I just wanna see a race where the leader doesnt win by 20 seconds like the tracks in the middle east.

I'd suggest Monza (Italy). While Spa is a great track, it's a big haul to get to and around the circuit. Plus, the track workers and security are far from friendly. Monza is close enough to a major city that it's easy to get to. And the Ferrari fans who are there make the atmosphere very exciting. The track is blindingly fast, to boot.

Spa Francorchamps. Nothing beats Eau Rouge.
Too bad nearly all the hotels (like 95 %) lining the proposed track for the week of the Singapore GP are fully booked.
I'm already booked for the 2008 Shanghai GP, he he he...

The Belgian Grand Prix. It's a circuit that has been famous for its unpredictable weather. At one point, it had rained there for twenty years in a row. That is just very interesting indeed, for an F1 race- unpredictability. Every time there is a race there, it's bound to be full of action and it's never boring.

Singapore. New race on the calendar. Plus it will be held at night. It'll be a very interesting one as well as a new experience. I've no doubt they'll be able to stage a very good race. And I bet there'll be lots of cool promos to tell the world about this race.

Spa.
I don't think I would ever pick Monaco either. Never understood that track other than a place for the rich to go and show off. Not a good place for a race in my opinion

I don't know why but the brazilian crowd always seems to be the best, they always seem to be as passionate with F1 as they are with football, and since it's the last GP of the year, you can bet your *** there are going to be parties all over the place.
