Either Valencia or Istanbul. Valencia because it's a boring track and not much action, as for Istanbul, it's a good track, just not popular.

US GP, should be banned..!!
No reason, coz most people there are interested in NASCAR than F1

Hungarian GP-Not very exciting, and is getting fairly old Quote ( William Hunt @ July 7th 2011,02:59:30 )
Personally I think the Hungarian GP is one of the best on the calendar. Quote ( William Hunt @ July 7th 2011,02:59:30 )
I agree with you! Definatly should NOT be dropped, we need to keep the good old races on the calendar! Quote ( Janne Väänänen @ July 3rd 2011,12:31:41 )
Hungaroring apparently was partly designed by Bernie himself. Bernie decides the calendar, so... Most importantly, Bernie owns the track

Thats funny because the gps at Indy brought the biggest crowds in F1 at that time, possibly ever.

The people who are near the track site are very excited and proud to host a GP. Detroit and Long Beach also (after a while) warmed to F1

What about India, or China, or Turkey, or Korea, or even the Middle East? They're all interested in other sports, so should they be banned too? I mean, you probably won't know this, but there is a lot of F1 fans over in the States! Just wait till the US GP next year in Texas, and see the crowds that will turn up! Then you tell me if it should be banned or not.

Chinese GP as well - awesome track, but it seems like Chinese people have no interest (or GP costs are really expensive to chinese standards)

They had to drop Turkey. Not enough people watch it over there and the tickets are too expensive for that reason.

I guess Istanbul park will not be used, Motogp haven't used it for a while, I think LMS stopped going there, F1 was all it had left, they won't be able to afford to keep it unless they get something like WTCC.

2012 Formula 1 calendar
18/03 AUS Australia
25/03 MYS Malaysia
15/04 CHN China
22/04 BAH Bahrain

27/05 MCO Monaco
10/06 CAN Canada
24/06 EUR Europe

When it was the Pacfic GP, TT Aida(Now Okayama) was the 2nd or 3rd round of the championship.
But well, not as Japanese GP, I believe.

I will miss turn 8 at Turkey...but that is it.
Valencia will leave the calender in 2014 to make way for Russia, possibly with a rotated contract with Barcelona like Nurburgring/Hockeheim.

Wish Bahrain would disappear. It's been the dullest venue by far. Probably have to pay people to go & watch.

|

its surely Valencia or Catalunya as it is very expensive to have to gps in the same country in one season so probably it will happen that they will do the same thing as germany

Turkey confirmed as off the calendar next season. Such a shame. Definately the best track Tilke has devised.
Shame.

I wish the USGP would take place 1 week later so I could have more time in Austin than only a weekend. The last full week of November has Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday day offs for me as I am a teacher.
It's a pity about the Istanbul track.

Bahrain should be dropped.it is a boring track.

FIA = MONEY BEFORE THE REST

the way i see it this poll is not about which track we would like to be dropped, it's about which track has the biggest chances to be dropped. And as far i know, that's Istanbul. Though i wouldn't mind if the FIA would replace Istanbul with Imola, now that would be something

Everyone wants Imola back but we know it will never happen, the tracks have to pay a very high fee now to host a race. I think it should always be the tracks right to decide the fee, if they all decide they are paying too much we won't have any races after all...
Spa, Monza, Silverstone and Monaco are given probably low fees to keep them on the calender, presumably to avoid fans getting angry over these tracks leaving if it could happen. Places like Abu Dhabi and Singapore have better facilities so they can charge higher prices to fans and then can be charged higher for their race fees, so the newer tracks may be the reason Bernie Ecclestone is able to give the older tracks fees they can afford.

Once again, money has spoiled something in motoracing. The Istanbul Park circuit is actually one of the better circuits, yet it's dropped. And boring tracks like the ones in Bahrain and Valencia. Don't any of these people realise money isn't everything...
|

Get rid of Bahrain and Valencia. Bring back the A1 ring and Imola. F1 is nothing without its fans.
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately Imola will never return due to it's association with Senna's death
