Love the idea of Helsinki thunder circuit...
BUT

It's not viable anymore. Theyve done so much work on the streets there, that the circuit could no longer fit. Hell, they added a goddamn metro station around where the track used to go :D

Just to say, a 1.2km circuit would have a 255-lap race. Unless it had the same status as Monaco, in which the race distance is cut short by around 50km.

My take on this:

1. Australian Grand Prix, Mount Panorama, Bathurst, NSW
2. Singapore Grand Prix, Singapore Street Circuit, Singapore. Removed Singapore Sling.
3. Malaysian Grand Prix, Sepang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
4. Japanese Grand Prix, Suzuka Circuit, Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, Japan
5. Spanish Grand Prix, Jerez de la Fonteira, Jerez, Spain
6. Monaco Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, Monaco
7. European Grand Prix, Nurburgring, Nurburg, Germany. First corner a chicane.
8. French Grand Prix, Paul Ricard, Le Castellet, France
9. British Grand Prix, Brands Hatch GP Circuit, Longfield, UK
10. German Grand Prix, Hockenheimring Baden-Wurttemburg, Hockenheim, Germany. Forest blasts back.
11. Czech Republic Grand Prix, Circuit Brno, Brno, Czech Republic
12. Belgian Grand Prix, Circuit de Spa-Franchorchamps, Spa, Belgium. No bus stop. Even after they fixed it, it still had a horrible smell and was eventually destroyed.
13. Italian Grand Prix, Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Monza, Italy
14. Dutch Grand Prix, Circuit Zandvoort, Zandvoort, Netherlands
15. United States Grand Prix, New Jersey Street Circuit, Weewhaken and West New York, New Jersey, United States
16. Canadian Grand Prix, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
17. Argentinian Grand Prix, Autodromo Oscar Galvez, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Lake straights with 2 chicanes.
18. Brazilian Grand Prix, Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace, Sao Paulo, Brazil

First time poster here. I have to say Bernie and co have got the calendar all wrong. Not impressed. 2 races in America (hardly the biggest f1 fans, sure they might bring in money), no Argentina or South Africa? And even though I am an Aussie I think it is time for a new country to open the season. Also a new ender as well.

My calendar for 2015, or 2016:
Race 1: Buenos Aires, Argentina (big history, right time of year for the event, new opener)
Race 2: New Delhi, India
Race 3: Melbourne, Australia
Race 4: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Race 5: Shanghai, China
Race 6: America
Race 7: Montreal, Canada
Race 8: Barcelona, Spain
Race 9: Monza, Italy
Race 10: Nurburgring, Germany (on alternations agreement)
Race 11: Spa, Belgium
Race 12: Budapest, Hungary
Race 13: Silverstone, UK
Race 14: Monaco
Race 15: Suzuka, Japan
Race 16: Mexico City, Mexico
Race 17: Interlagos, Brazil
Race 18: South Africa (new ender)

Austria and France are unlucky and I would have included them if it was not 18 races. Obviously Russia will be there and Argentina and South Africa will not. But I am not part of the FIA.
I'll also add Singapore, which I missed out on. Alternation with India or Malaysia?

Let's try with something ^^ Tracks mostly selected for scenery and elevation changes. US is the only one to have two GPs per year. Some might be in alternance as it was kind of difficult to ditch some great tracks...

1 - Australia - Bathurst
2 - South Africa - Kyalami
3 - Brazil - Interlagos
4 - Turkey - Istanbul
5 - Italy - Imola
6 - Spain - Jarama
7 - Monaco - Monaco
8 - England - Brands Hatch
9 - France - Charade
10 - US East - Elkhart Lake
11 - Canada - Mont-Tremblant
12 - Germany - Hockenheim [pre 2002]
13 - Austria - A1-Ring [or whatever is its current name]
14 - Czech Republic - Brno
15 - Belgium - Spa Francorchamps
16 - Netherlands - Zandvoort
17 - US West - Laguna Seca
18 - Japan - Suzuka

I came here thinking it was a new thread :oops:
anyway, my ideal [and nostalgia filled] calendar would be the following :

1. Brazilan GP- Interlagos (provides excellent title deciders, but at the beginning we could have pre-season testing here again)
2. Mexican GP- Hermano Rodrigues
3. US GP - Austin (it's a fine fine track, I must admit)
4. Canadian GP - Montreal
5. San Marino GP - Imola with tamburello again (with those safe barriers used in ovals)
6. Monaco GP - Current Monaco track
7. Napoleon GP - Rotation between Current Paul Ricard and Estoril (at some point, Napoleon invaded Portugal...first thing I could remember to relate them)
8. British GP - Pre-91 Silverstone
9. German GP - Old Hockenheim
10. Austrian GP - Old Oesterreichring
11. Hungarian GP - Current Hungaroring (it's actually pretty good now)
12. Belgian GP - unchanged bus-stop Spa, because I really really liked it (Funded by FIA, FOM or Bernie himself, because it's a heritage of motorsport and should be protected)
13. Italian GP - Pre-2000 Monza (hate the silly new chicane)
14. South African GP - 70's/80's Kyalami
15. Indian GP - New Delhi
16. South Asian GP - Rotation between Kuala Lumpur & Singapore
17. Japan - Suzuka with the last chicane back where it was
18. Australia - Melbourne (Nostalgia says Adelaide, but Melbourne is a far better track IMO)

I think, those tracks bear relation either to drivers that are racing, places that are important to F1 (didn't put China that because the track sucks big big time IMO...and because there's no relevant chinese driver either) and tracks that are simply too good to be out and/or often produces good races. I think is a decent compromise.

I could only narrow it down to 20 races. Keep in mind that I am perfectly aware of what time of year these would likely take place in. If you have to narrow it down to 18 races, then remove the two events in italics.

Australian GP @ Surfer's Paradise
Argentinian GP @ Somewhere New
Brazilian GP @ Interlagos
Portuguese GP @ Algarve
Monaco GP @ Monaco
British Superprix: Birmingham Superprix Layout
Texas GP @ Austin
Quebec GP @ Montreal/Circuit ICAR
Ontario GP @ Edenvale Airport
Ohio GP @ Cleveland International Airport
Canadian GP @ Edmonton Airport (2011-2012 layout)
United States GP @ Road America
Norwegian GP @ Rudskogen
Czech Republic GP @ Brno
Swedish GP @ Falkenberg
Russian GP @ Moscow
Chinese GP @ Shanghai
Japanese GP @ Suzuka
Malaysian GP @ Sepang
Abu Dhabi GP @ Yas Marina with a different layout.

All events in bold are worth double points and with all teams running three cars. For these events, the 110% rule will not apply.

Yeah, the above is serious. Let the hating begin. :twisted:

my idea for a perfect F1 calendar:

1. Brazil - Interlagos
2. Argentina - Potrero de los Funes
3. San Marino - Imola(pre-1995)
4. Monaco - Monte Carlo(of course)
5. Mexico - Cancun Street Circuit
6. USA - Manhattan Street Circuit
7. Canada - Montreal
8. Great Britain - Calder Park(awesome circuit)
9. Austria - Osterreichring
10. Germany - Nurburgring Nordschleife
11. Belgium - Spa Francorchamps
12. Italy - Monza
13. Portugal - Oporto Street Circuit
14. Europe - Prague Street Circuit
15. Japan - Fuji(I hate Suzuka)
16. Australia - a racetrack in the Outback
and now the more exotic GPs
17. Morocco - Ain Diab
18. Nigeria - Lagos Street Circuit
19. Indonesia - Lippo Village Street Circuit(the would be A1GP race, awesome layout and rather twisty)
20. Ethiopia - Addis Ababa Street Circuit
21. Namibia - a purpose-built racetrack just outside of Namib Desert
22. Mozambique - Maputo Street Circuit
23. Bolivia - La Paz Street Circuit(this must be the most difficult race in my calendar)
and many more...

Portero de los Fuentes may have amazing scenery, but the layout looks worse than Valencia for overtaking

There's surely (in my opinion) three good overtaking spots at turns 2, 4, and 9.

Okay, granted it's not an 18-race calendar, but I could only come up with 16 races (and even that was pretty hard). And something tells me, I might have better posted it in the "unpopular opinions" thread... ;)

01.) South African GP / Kyalami (layout 1968 - 1985)
02.) Brazilian GP / Interlagos (pre-1980 layout)
03.) Spanish GP / Autodromo de Sitges-Terramar
04.) French GP / Circuit de Charade (Clermont-Ferrand)
05.) Dutch GP / Circuit Park Zandvoort (pre-1973 layout)
06.) Belgian GP / Spa-Francorchamps (pre-2006 layout)
07.) Canadian GP / Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
08.) USA GP / Indianapolis (not the F1 layout, the REAL thing)
09.) Irish GP / Phoenix Park Dublin (very old track, looks a bit like old Hockenheim)
10.) British GP / Silverstone Circuit (layout 1952 - 1974)
11.) Finnish GP / Eläintarharata (Djurgardsbanan, Helsinki) (layout 1932 - 1963)
12.) German GP / Nürburgring (layout 1927 - 1967, both Nord- and Südschleife as one track!) :twisted:
13.) Swiss GP / Bremgarten Rundstrecke (layout 1955)
14.) Italian GP / Imola (pre-1995)
15.) Japan GP / Suzuka
16.) Australian GP / Mount Panorama (Bathurst)

Not only driver safety, but also the fact that most of the Bremgarten circuit doesn't even exist anymore :P

I know that, but FullMetalJack's opening post clearly stated:

That's why I put this calendar together. It's less a possible one, but more a version I would love to see. :)
