Suzuka mirrored in the thumbnail....my like is gonna be too

[IamSamSammIam]

You didn't include Mt Panorama Bathurst wtf

[coleseum]

It is clear you dont know anything about this.

[lucasjoona]

Mount Panorama is the best track ever. I love the tight and smooth corners together with the highspeed straights, it has everything

[guidogos]

Definitely US revision top 10. How can you put Spa out of the top 3.

[dwant]

Sepang is Tilke's best creation. most F1 drivers likes it

[darthaustralis]

noo I'm not satisfied you didn't include Bathrust one of the most iconic tracks there is it's on a mountain for crying out loud... 😭

[miat]

1. Nordschleife
2. Circuit de la sarthe
3. Spa
4. Imola
5. Suzuka
6. Monza
7. Bathurst
8. Silverstone
9. Interlagos
10. Catalunya

This is my list of top 10, but it's extremely difficult to rank them since they're all fantastic in their own right.

[xellanox]

IOM being so low down, the lack of Bathurst and Laguna seca being so high is fucking criminal.

[martenspitzner]

The Mount Panorama circuit, also known as bathurst, is missing. GET PIKES PEAK OUT and also get laguna seca out of the list because that's nothing compared to the Autódromo José Carlos Pace

[lastfirst]

I would seriously rethink putting Laguna Seca in this list. Yes, the Cork Screw is a nice corner, but that's it. - Where's Mount Panorama, aka Bathurst ???

[chicobicalho]

Suzuka in 6th and Spa in 4th? Obviously this nerd knows nothing about auto racing!

[momosstudio]

1) Nürburgring
2) Spa-Francorchamps
3) Circuit de la Sarthe
4) Mount Panorama
5) Suzuka
6) Monza
7) Silverstone
8) Indianapolis
9) Daytona
10) Mazda Laguna Seca
11) Monaco

[sirfoegs]

Somthing about Suzuka man, that track will always be #1 to me.

[TheMeltedEntree]

Brah all of Australia's gonna come after you

[philliphamilton]

I am so happy that all the comments are "WTF, where is Mt Panorama?". I can tell you this track is intense. I've driven, cycled and ran around the Mountain and I can tell you it is intensely difficult and an amazing circuit. How it is not in the top 5 is beyond me.

[dantefajardo]

This is a list based more on history, heritage rather than on technical merit.

[andrewd]

Monaco's crap. It's only on the F1 calendar because of historic value.

[chevronie]

why no bathrust. its like everything laguna seca has going for it but that x10 its so satisfying to overtake someone in the mountainous part of the track
