[Atticvs]

I went in order of difficulty - Bathurst, Suzuka, Spa, Brands Hatch. (Though Bathurst and Spa top the enjoyment factor as well with their excellent rhythm and high-speed and/or lift-and-go corners.)

 

[David Mann]

Who are the sadists voting for Monza?

 

[Bammers]

Who are the sadists voting for Monza?

 

[Jimlaad43]

Why are people voting for Imola so much? Apart from Zolder, it's the most "finish where you qualified" circuit on the list...

 

[Benutzername]

Thats ACC, right?

 

[rikirk]

@Bram Hengeveld
Happy to cast a vote when more info is available like: Endurance or Sprint? Time duration? Number of mandatory pit stops if any? Tire set limit? Driver swap? Weather base settings?

Which day will occur? Calendar?

Thanks.

 

[stribbeck]

Brands Hatch, Imola, Silverstone, Spa

 

[Edward Gonzales]

Wait..where's the red bull ring? Sheesh okay then Valencia!!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Who are the sadists voting for Monza?

Me

 

[G-Slev]

Does anyone actually like misano???

Crumpets or tea cakes at pitstops?

 

[Jeremy Talbot]

Any chance this could be on a US server so most people from round the world can join in? It's impossible to join an EU server as the ping is too much from New Zealand. Really wish Kunos could improve their netcode

 

[BertramRaven]

Does anyone actually like misano???

I like the last few corners - get them right and resulting grin is huge.

 

[Edward Gonzales]

But I don't think that section above is for cyclists haha!

 

[BP]

Come on people...not Spa AGAIN?! Unpopular opinion, but after the dust has settled and the usual suspects (Spa, Bathurst, Nurburgring and either Imola or Monza) win this vote, I would say "and now that we've gotten THAT out of the way, the 3 that won the popular vote are now eliminated (we'll keep #4). NOW, pick 3 tracks from what's left."

 

[Bryce Waard]

I love Monza, it’s my go to test track...but I’m nuts soooooo

 

[Bryce Waard]

Just to follow up and bring me back into the good graces of the thread, anyone that picks Paul Richard should immediately be banned

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

that's me out then

 

[whip]

paul ricard and kyalami, best two tracks
