Imola(1994), for it's fast turns and tight corners allows for all
types of overtaking. It's easy to get a good rythmn going.
My least favourite is Portugal. It's nice until that crappy little
chicane at the end of the track. I almost always lose it at the end.
Hungary and Aida also suck IMO but Portugal get the cake for that
god-awful turn.

P.S. I hope in the update for the 1996 tracks, they allow us to keep
the old ones. Many of the tracks have been butchered since 1994
including some of my favorites.

So far for me the hands down winner has to be Spa Belgium.

Heading downhill into to Eau-Rouge seeing the car you are chasing already
heading up the other side, then trying to get the corner right holding
the throttle down to the last moment....

I finally understand why the drivers really love that corner.

Cheers.

Let me see, I keep changing my mind about this. I know I
detest adelaide and estoril, my times there are awful. I can't
decide between Imola, Monza or Spa. So I'll say all 3!

my favoutite is Hockenheim - probably the easiest circuit to drive on?
lots of good long straights to pull the guts of your engine out.
hardest must be monaco. anybody know why the tunnel was programmed in
such a way?
also why no speech - i.e. 2 way radio?

I guess Monza for a nice relaxing drive in the country, and Spa for a real
challenge - love trying to straightline the bustop and catching the slide
on the way out, and of course trying to do Eau Rouge flat (haven't succeded
yet :-(

I like driving Spa, too. I finally managed to make a setup that allows
for a full-throttle sweep through Eau Rouge on a fresh set of tires
(with rear wing at minimum, but also traction help, though.) All I can
say is WOOAAHHH! :)

After this year's Belgian Grand Prix, Niki Lauda was interviewed on
(the otherwise despicable) RTL TV. This is what he said about Eau
Rouge (translation from memory):

"Drivers in slow cars usually have no problem taking it at full speed,
because their cars simply lack power. With a competitive car, it's
quite different. ... When I was racing at Spa, I always told myself in
La Source: "This time, you're going through Eau Rouge full-throttle!",
but usually, I lifted my foot a bit from the pedal when I actually
arrived there. ... This curve is scary, and if you dared once to take
it full speed, it doesn't mean you will have less respect for it on
the next lap."

Well, I knew *exactly* what he's talking about, and that's meant as a
big compliment to GP2.

I'm with you on Portugal. That little chicane is a complete
nightmare to get through. What did they do, put an ice rink
there or something?

James.

Right! I agree here. It's much easier to pick a most hated track than a
favourite one :-)

I like Jerez very much, personally.
