> Look at these seasons:

> 1953: (Ascari's 2nd great year - Fangio was 2nd): Buenos Aires, Indianapolis
> (yes an oval), Zandvoort, Spa (essentially the same as '67), Rheims
> (reputedly one of the greatest Grand Prix races ever), Silverstone,
> Nurburgring (slightly different to '67, but essentially the same),
> Bremgarten, Monza (Short but Parabolica replaced by 2 tightly linked corners
> called Verdano). Other GPs at Syracuse, Pau, Bordeaux, Chimay, Albi and
> Modena didn't count towards championship
> 1954 (Fangio begins to dominate): Buenos Aires, Indianapolis, Spa, Rheims,
> Silverstone, Nurburgring, Bremgarten, Monza (Short with Verdano), Pedralbes.
> Other GPs at Syracuse, Pau, Bari, Rome, Chimay, Roen, Caen, Pescara, Cadours
> and Avus (the dog bone with only 2-corners) didn't count towards
> championship
> 1955: Buenos Aires, Monaco, Indianapolis, Spa, Zandvoort, Aintree, Monza
> (with the oval). Other GPs at Turin, Pau, Bordeaux, Naples, Albi and
> Syracuse didn't count towards championship.
> 1956: Buenos Aires, Monaco, Indianapolis, Spa, Rheims, Silverstone,
> Nurburgring, Monza (with the oval). Other GPs at Mendoza, Syracuse, Naples,
> Caen and Brands Hatch didn't count towards championship.
> 1957: Buenos Aires, Monaco, Indianapolis, Rouen (the same circuit as '67),
> Aintree, Nurburgring, Pescara (even longer than Nurburgring pole position
> 9:44.6 by Fangio), Monza (without the oval). Other GPs at Syracuse, Pau,
> Naples, Rheims, Caen, Modena and Morocco didn't count towards championship.
> 1958 (no Fangio): Buenos Aires, Monaco, Zandvoort, Indianapolis, Spa,
> Rheims, Silverstone, Nurburgring, Porto, Monza (without the oval), Morocco.
> Other GPs at  Syracuse and Caen didn't count towards championship.
