Bringing back the European circuits
With reference to your ‘Reflections’ in the May edition of Motor Sport, if Bernie is so concerned about European audiences let’s hold more races in Europe (and fewer in the far East). There are plenty of circuits here, enough in fact to maybe run two Grands Prix in each major European country.
Lets include Donington, Zandvoort and the banking at Monza. And of course, Reims, Rouen, Paul Ricard, Osterreichring, Anderstorp, Zolder and Kyalami in South Africa (it’s even the same time zone).
Oh damn I have just woken up – what a lovely dream – but I do go back a long way and know all these tracks from over 50 years worth of Jenks and Motor Sport magazine! I think I will go back to sleep and dream some more. Here’s hoping!
