JH,
I don't know about newbies, but my two own favorites are Spa in
Belguim, a big brawler of a race track, considered by many to be the finest
racetrack in the world. The other of course is Monaco, tough to learn but
very rewarding. It is my single most favorite and hoot to race. Other great
courses, and easier to learn, are Hungary and Canada. All the best, Mike
