Not all circuits can survive the ravages of time and money. Some struggled on for decades and then collapsed under the weight of modern pressures. Not all of those are really that missed, but some were considered the true greats. In fact some of those incredible circuits are now buried under a modern facsimile, a track that still holds the name of the original, but none of the mystique. These are the seven that we most wish could come back.

Funnily enough, Rouen-Les-Essarts was not even on the calendar in the 1967 season Grand Prix Legends is based on. The developers of GPL chose it because they thought it was much more interesting than the Le Mans-Bugatti circuit that the actual 1967 French Grand Prix was held on. I'm glad they did, Rouen is definitely one of my favourite tracks in GPL as well.

Nice to see Charade. I learned to drive there. ( obviously I lived a few minutes away )... I also learned that that straight after the pits is in fact quite short ( thanksfully the Charade corner is a high speed uphill one ) and that in winter if you are not careful the back of the car will want to come in front due to the unseen ice. Oh and since the old circuit ( before being castrated to what it is now ) was open road, every sunday you had all the motorcycle fans in the area ( and beyond ) gathering there to do laps. ( locals with cars tended to avoid it on sundays and went around through other roads unless they couldn't avoid it. )

I'd add a few :- Old Austria - so fast and flowing, with elevation change. Alain Prost even said that it could be made safe for modern F1, if they put in run-offs. The modern version of the circuit is too short, and the corners have too tight an apex. Old Zandavort - the longer circuit was more of a challenge. There's still the banked first turn there - and that's worthwhile. Old Adelaide - one of the few street circuits that I actually like. Has a really decent flow to it. The busy first section of medium speed corners, then those tight 90 degree corners in the middle, quickly following by that tricky corner of which you have the long Brabham Straight and the best chance to overtake.

Laguna Seca used to be a two miler with a high speed section leading from the front straight up to the corkscrew. In the late eighties they remodeled to have the modern 2.25 mile configuration and sequence of turns between the Andretti Hairpin and Rahal Strait. I once saw onboard footage of the legendary Toyota Eagle GTP on the original circuit and when it was heading up to the corkscrew it was scary fast. It was like a brake failure could've sent it off the hill. The reason for the remodel was so they could keep the motorcycle event.

The original 8 km long Interlagos circuit would comfortably fall into this category. It was Ronnie Peterson's favourite track, and I believe Gilles Villeneuve's as well. It was a beautiful track with every type of turn, two respectable straights (the short one os now 'the' straight), among them the legendary Sargento hairpin with its 14⁰ banking whereby viewers could see the cars as if from above from the molehill inside the turn. People like Fittipaldi who raced the original and the current one says the one now doesn't come close to the way it used to be. Also, it had amazing visibility from many points of the track, for it was beautifully laid out in a tight package. For anyone who has never seen its layout, do look it up.

I live in california, and I have visit Riverside several times, but I have never seen the track but I have seen the remains of it. However, the Riverside racetrack sounds very new to me because I am more of a fan of Laguna Seca, my father had race on the original course from the late 1970s until the mid 1990s, the last time he raced there was in the late 90s ever since the track had a remodel, he prefer the original over the remodel because the remodel made it challenging for him. He loved the original long straightaways of the track while still retaining the corkscrew turn. I find the original Laguna Seca from the 1950s until the 1990s be an interesting type of course. Because it seemed more of a simpler attract to race on instead of what it is today, I like the modern version. But it would be more interesting to hear more information about the original circuit because you rarely do hear about it.

Jaceparagua is another circuit that should be on the list, no wonder the Brazilian Grand Prix went to Interlagos.

Old Sebring being 5.2 miles long with the long straights is some of my favorite racing to watch compared to the modern Sebring track being 3.7 miles long n twisty

Rouen, Kyalami, Montjuic and the proper Zandvoort would be on my list, I'd even suggest that a large element of the challenge was lost when they flattened sections, cut the hedges and installed run off and Armco at the Nurburgring.

A nice local curcuit was Westwood. Same fate as Riverside. :(

Well, I am Brazilian and I live a couple of blocks from it, so I have to remember Interlagos old circuit. The old circuit is there, and you almost could have a go. You just have to tear down some fences.

Bridgehampton on Long Island in New York is sadly now a golf course. It was a spectacular track with a long and storied history.

Nice list. However, Avus still existed until recently, as a DTM Circuit, shorter, but still a monster!

Solitude - Crystal Palace - Old Ostereichring - Old Mexico City - Old Kyalami- Old Proper Zandvoort... Original Watkins Glen... old Brno... in time all these memories will be gone - like tears in rain.

I miss Riverside, for sure, several fond childhood memories of seeing NASCAR races there. And it was seriously uncool of California and the sanctioning bodies to let that track be wiped out for a shopping center.
