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...

There is very little sentiment from the Scots. Even if they are voting no, the sports stars are only bothered about funding. There seems to be little pride in wearing a GB shirt.

Monaco would be mental.
Monza would be a decent track.

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.
