Re: Which tracks would be the most fun run backwards?

But given the speed of an F1 car in reverse, would not all the tracks be a little boring? Or given how badly an F1 car handles in reverse would be fun anyway? I like your alternative version of the universe. The crowd would be facing the wrong way and the race would start with a chequered flag. The...

Re: Scottish Independence, yes or no.

I would produce some real head scratchers and near impossible races, but gets the imagination going.

Monaco would be mental.

Monza would be a decent track.

Spa would be awesome.

The pit lane exits would be a bit dodgy.

Thoughts About Monza, the circuit.

Monza, for me, proves that less is more. I think that a lot of the newer tracks are over designed.

As a spectator, I suspect that there is rarely a moments lull, the cars are spread around the entire track at most times and the tree lined track is beautiful.
