How Many Formula 1 Circuits Have You Visited?

[Jimlaad43]

Having recently ticked off the Circuit de Jerez in Spain, I became curious as to how many Formula 1 circuits I have visited in my life, and then how many other people have.

As Formula 1 fans, we spend our weekends watching the fastest racing cars driving around some of the best ribbons of tarmac on Earth, and they usually look fantastic. The nerdy parts of our brains make us want to visit them, so how many have you been to?

I, for example, have visited 9 circuits.
Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Donington Park, Le Mans, AVUS, Hockenheim, Valencia, Jerez and Melbourne.

(For a full list of Formula 1 circuits, look here - http://www.statsf1.com/en/circuits.aspx - to work out which streets you have been to if you are unsure.)

Share your stories of visits and photos if you wish. Did you go to that Grand Prix? Why did you visit the circuit? Did you plan a holiday destination specifically because it was once an F1 circuit?

[Vincent.C]

Just three : Monaco (during practice), Paul Ricard (full week-end) and Barcelona (winter testing days).

Hope I can visit a day Spa, Silverstone and Monza. (Yep, i love EU tracks).

 

[BrainsBush]

Spa, Monaco, Hockenheim, Nürburgring, RedBullRing, LeMans. Do classic F1 tracks Zandvoort & Zolder and near future (?) Assen Circuit also count

 

[The Zman]

Watkins Glen, Indianapolis, Sebring, Silverstone, Donington Park, Monaco

 

[Steve Worrell]

Hahaha I was trying to remember all the circuits I've been to. I have (SIM) raced all the tracks so many times over the years that I was convinced I had visited more of them.

I saw the sign for silverstone on the motorway and stopped outside the gate of Barcelona.

[Koen Verlinde]

Spa, Le mans (Bugatti hosted a race), Paul Ricard, Zolder, Nurburgring, Hockenheim (old one), Avus, Zandvoort, Reims, Rouen, Magny Cours, Monaco. That's about it I believe.

 

[Kjell81d]

Counting former tracks, just Watkins Glen. Getting to Europe is a bit of a slog.

 

[Pset]

Magny-Cours, Abu-Dhabi and Monaco.

 

[LeSunTzu]

Dijon-Prenois, Le Mans, Magny-Cours, Monaco and what's left of Reims-Gueux. Nice places but not quite close to Laguna Seca's awesomeness.

I hope I can visit Suzuka and Fuji one day.
