My Dream F1 Calendar

[@LawVS]

What tracks would you want to see in F1 in the future and which ones removed?

[@BlissifiedHH]

I would love to have sepang back more than anything. Its such a big track so i would hope for some good racing on there

[@Wulff_F1]

I would really like to see a return to indianapolis or a race at Kymiring so i finally can have a GP to go to.

[@ameyaprakash]

Maybe a race back in India, Ik it's not the best racing circuit but f1 is starting to get popular in India and India having a population of 1.5 Bil

[@BDSFormula1]

A race at home* in Nigeria *I'm Nigerian, but have lived in Britain for most of my life

Kyalami would be a nice addition to race in all the livable continents

[@chrisdawson9312]

I didn’t care what the lineup was, as long as interlagos was the last race of the season. That should be a requirement.

Can't have it any other way

[@BrockMak]

Australia first, Interlagos last. I can't imagine it any other way.

[@KenaiTobin]

[@jackybeck2479]

My dream F1 calendar: Round 1: Australia, Albert Park. Round 2: Malaysia, Sepang INTL Circuit. Round 3: Singapore, Marina Bay. Round 4: India, Buddh INTL Circuit. Round 5: South Africa, Kyalami. Round 6: Portugal, Algarve INTL Circuit (Portimao). Round 7: Monaco, Monte Carlo. Round 8: France, Magny-Cours. Round 9: Azerbaijan, Baku City Circuit. Round 10: Turkey, Istanbul Park. Round 11: Great Britain, Silverstone. Round 12: Austria, Red Bull Ring. Round 13: Belgium, Spa Franchorchamps. 4 Week Break. Round 14: Germany, Nurburgring (not the Nordschleife) Round 15: Italy, Monza. Round 16: Emilia Romagna, Imola. Round 17: Canada, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Round 18: USA, COTA. Round 19: Japan, Suzuka. Round 20: Bahrain, Bahrain INTL Circuit. Round 21: Brazil, Interlagos.

[@Nascarfan1896]

Really cool looking calendar. My main issue is Monaco's placement. I get wanting to group races by region but Monaco being on the late may weekend with the Indy 500 and coke 600 is too iconic to remove imo. If it was bumped up to one of the earlier races during the European leg it could probably work still though. Possibly could go after turkey or even right before Monza to make the travel work.

[@LawVS]

Possibly, it could be tweaked supposing we went Turkey, Monza then Monaco

[@5iverk]

I think I would add Kyalami and Bahrain, but except for that I believe what you created is a great calendar so props to you

The fact that Interlagos isn´t always the last track in the calender is criminal. It is one of the if not the greatest Racetrack in the world! Only think about all the epic moments that happened at that place.

@@LawVS It needs to be like Homestead-Miami is to NASCAR, even if you aren't invested in the title fight, you still get rewarded for being a loyal fan. Unfortunately, us in NASCAR are stuck with a farce in Phoenix.

[@Edelweiss1102]

Overall, a wonderful calendar with many wonderful and iconic races. My personal list: GPs I want to see return: - Sepang - Istanbul - Shanghai (might return in 2024) - Fudji (alternating with Suzuka) - Hockenheim/Nürburgring (preferably alternating as well, also hot take, the new Hockenheim Ring may lack the iconic forest section, but it's actually better for racing) GPs that must stay in the calendar: - Melbourne (as opener) - Bahrain - Baku - Monza - Monaco - Spa - Zandvort - Silverstone - Red Bull Ring - Austin - Interlagos (as finisher) - Hungaroring - Montreal I think a season should have between 20 and 22 races max, that would leave 2-4 places for more GPs in my lineup. Possible candidates: - a Spain Grand Prix: I could live with either Valencia, Jerez or even keeping Catalunya as the finally dropped that hideous chicane. - a Portuguese Grand Prix: I could live with both Estoril or Portimao - a Mexican Grand Prix: I'm not the biggest fan, but it's also not the worst of the Grand Prixes I threw out - an Indian Grand Prix: Budh or what it's called looks very interesting - An Africn Gran Prix: Africa deserves 1 Grand Prix at the very least, Kailamy would have to be upgraded, but it should be possible. - I'm also open to let any of the races I threw out back in as a filler, I just don't need them all in one season And let's address the elephant in the room. No French Grand Prix? Blasphemy, I know, but I just don't see a track in France that is currently tier 1 and suitable for F1. Paul Ricard is a great test track, but absolutely hideous for racing, I think we are all happy it's gone. And I have some fond Memorys of Many Cours as well, but the actual races were pretty boring there. The Mans 24h la Sarthe track is trash for F1 obviously and the Bugatti circuit would have to be updated and is pretty boring as well. Rouen hasn't seen a race in like 50 years. One track that might have potential is Dijon, but it would have to be updated as well. Or we cheat a bit an call either Monaco, Zandvort or Spa the French GP.

As a Thai, who personally went to that Buriram International Circuit, I am actually quite interested in a F1 event in that circuit as they are quite flat, has a lot of straight and high speed curve. Also, it is simply no better time, Alex Albon is absolutely our favorite driver, and f1 fan base in Thailand has been increasing like crazy since he joined. Great content as always mate👍🏼.

[@LawVS]

Thank you!

[@VRILLEX019]

This calendar will be so awesome. The calendar must be random every year with many country so it will be more enjoyable

[@LawVS]

It would be crazy random and only a choice of 41 tracks so it wouldn't be all that wild. It's a shame that Grade Two tracks can't be considered.

[@gho3945]

Great calendar, the only additional track I would add is Singapore (but that’s my personal preference)

[@LawVS]

I'm curious to see the new configuration this year.

[@neosonixyz]

I think Buddh might also be a good place to go, MotoGP is going there and the Indian market is a big one, plus the general opinion from what I've seen is that the circuit was also quite good

[@LawVS]

If I had a 22nd race, India would've been there.

[@Mashupsky]

It used to be. But then India declared f1 as entertainment, putting an entertainment tax and making India too expensive to host an f1 race in

[@guilhermelucena3465]

hey Masako! Brazilian fan here, the letter J in portuguese sounds more like the english J rather than the spanish-castellian J, so instead of saying José like the spanish speakers do, you can say it just like Joseph (minus the ph part) Great video, I would only include the Marina bay circuit or Baku, to add to the street circuits tally

[@mahiru20ten]

I'd like to see a calendar with as minimum continent hopping as possible in mind. But then it went quite long with odd scheduling choices. So here goes: 1. Albert Park/The Bend 2. Marina Bay/Sepang 3. Buriram 4. Suzuka/Fuji/Shanghai 5. Buddh 6. Yas Marina/Kuwait/Jeddah 7. Baku 8. Kyalami 9. Istanbul Park/Hungaroaring 10. Red Bull Ring 11. Nurburgring/Hockenheim 12. Monza 13. Mugello/Imola/Misano [optional European GP] [summer break] 14. Silverstone 15. Zandvoort 16. Spa 17. Algarve/Magny-Cours 18. Monaco 19. Jerez (odd choice maybe for present era cars like you said)/Valencia/Aragon 20. Montreal 21. COTA/MotoGP layout Indianapolis (to shake things up, also to add to the anticlockwise course list) 22. Hermanos Rodriguez 23. Termas de Rio Hondo 24. Interlagos Note: If Algarve was chosen for that year then Monaco would be raced before it. The other way around if it's on Magny-Cours.

[@frozonezr]

I think you have a great idea for the qualifying format but the head to head should be P1 v P8, P2 v P7, and so on, like a seeding system.

[@LawVS]

An easy fix, perhaps I'll make an updated video with community feedback.

[@Zemml]

This would be the perfect race calendar. Not too many races, cool tracks and the right ones for the season start and finale 👌🏼

[@mierenmans881]

I think that zandvoort should also be on this calender. Just right after Spa. I love the history of the track and all the folks that volunteer there!

[@LawVS]

Some had to miss the cut since I wanted less than 22 tracks.

[@tombrouwer95]

The number one driver at the moment without a home race isnt realistic and unfair in my opinion.

[@riccardolenti6690]

Amazing calendar! I would swap Valencia with Aragon, I would add Zandvoort and maybe find a different track for France because both Magny Cours and Paul Ricard are not great for me. I would love to see a comeback of Rouen Les Essarts, fast track of the 60's with a good amount of elevation changes and through a forest (also would be Gasly's home race... literally because he's from Rouen) but it would need considerable amount of investment for modernization and safety because it was last raced in 1993 with touring cars . The last version of the track in the opposite direction would be pretty cool! Otherwise I would like also Dijion Prenois, but maybe it's a bit too short for modern F1.

[@riccardolenti6690]

Also I would love to see the Fuji for the Pacific GP. it's one of my favorite tracks of all time

[@LawVS]

Thanks! Shame that Paul Ricard was just not good despite all the configuration options.

[@MrDragonballzjp]

I couldn't agree more with your choices of tracks. Those a really good and provide more entertaining racing. I completely forgot that Thailand has a racetrack.

I miss that circuit and it could be good especially if the size of the cars decrease come 2026.

[@thrillathakilla]

@@LawVS I especially liked the older layout veggie the mid 2000s change to sector 3. I agreed with most of the rest of your calendar too. Melbourne is 150% a classic and I know you wanted to limit street circuits but what's your opinion on Adelaide?

[@DaTux91]

That's a very good lineup. I strongly agree with the choices for the first track and the last track, in particular. If only you were in charge of the real F1 calendar! Although, honestly, I would have removed all street circuits. It may seem harsh but the cars have just outgrown them... And I know Monaco is iconic but whenever I'm watching it, I can't help thinking "I could be watching a proper race at, say, the Nürburgring right now."

[@LawVS]

I think some street tracks are good but not all at once. Spaced out somewhat.

[@astrovisionbroadcastingunion]

That would be such a great lineup of tracks! The only reserve I'd have as a Frenchman is Magny-Cours, I don't think ti would work with how big current F1s are. if they would get significantly smaller in 2026 why not, but otherwise i'd prefer the likes of Circuit Bugatti in Le Mans, but it would need to be considered as Grade 1

It's hopeful that F1 cars will get smaller come 2026 and sure, Magny-Cours might have an issue akin to Imola, but it's possible.

[@iplayeddsharpminor]

Decent list though would argue Bahrain is a staple now albeit with off track issues. Can tell you grew up like me playing GP4 though (I still do), Australia first followed by sepang is ideal. And magny cours was always one of my favourites to drive as well. Sepang is also one of the widest tracks in the world so ideal for the behemoths we currently have in F1

[@LawVS]

Yeah those 2 races to start off with are perfect. As for Bahrain, I wanted to pick something different instead of going with the typical cookie-cutter answers.

[@iplayeddsharpminor]

@@LawVS ah yes it was very interesting you taught me about places I didn’t know about including Buriram where my friend lived for 5 years and never got to visit him there during covid. But it’s a very rural part of the country so totally caught me off guard when you said it was a grade 1 track and he never mentioned it 😅

A little surprised to not see the Chinese Grand Prix, to which I'd only want it added because it always provided the best races in F1 Video Game Career Modes year in and year out. Always seemed to have rain randomly hit mid race with it often drying out a bit before the end tempting more pitstop strategies.

[@bananatree2527]

I kind of want a track with a vertical loop. I know it doesn't exist yet, and it would be extraordinarily expensive to build, but I do honestly believe it is technically possible. You'd have to build it taller than the Eiffel tower to keep the G-force in check (F1 cars are a lot faster than rollercoasters), which would be awesome. Could also be the highest top speed in F1 history, especially if you turn it into a free DRS zone where you can always use DRS even if nobody is ahead (to save the suspension somewhat as well, as with aerodynamic downforce on top of the G-force it could load the suspension with up to 10 times the regular stationary car weight, a huge load for the suspension). It would be awesome to see these cars come down a descent over 300 meters (or 1000 ft) high at close to 400 km/h.

[@LawVS]

Give it a decade and downforce will be that good!

[@KC1996LFC]

Much better than what we currently have. My only suggestion would be the addition of ‘rotating’ races like we had under the banner of the European GP. I’d give 2 Asian GPs to be split among Shanghai, Buddh, Fuji and Singapore (and for you + Thailand) I’d combine Portimao and Catalunya into a rotating ‘Iberian’ GP I’d give a European slot to be rotated amongst the likes of Zandvoort, Hockenheim, Magny-Cours - classic European tracks. Bahrain should get a slot anyway, Abu Dhabi and Jeddah + which ever oil state is inevitably going to join next can rotate I’d consider giving an ‘Americas’ race to Buenos Aires + ONE more USA track, mainly for flexibility. And finally we need an African GP. If Kyalami is the only one then fine. Otherwise rotate it

[@LawVS]

I did think about that, but then it would've gotten a little bit long-winded. But rotating some tracks is a fair solution.

[@KC1996LFC]

@@LawVS Yeah yours is a dream 'season', would be a bit of a cop-out to list like 30 tracks to be used over 2/3 seasons haha. I think rotating is the only solution to the congestion we have, there are lots of 'meh' tracks that aren't classics like Monza/Silverstone/Spa and don't consistently provide great/good races like Austria/Canada/Bahrain/COTA, where if they fell off the calendar for a year I don't think fans would mind, but if they disappeared forever it would be sad. I'd classify Magny-Cours, Hockenheim and Sepang at that level. They had the odd classic and Sepang had the unpredictability of the weather but they were never in anyone's top 5 and had plenty of meh races. Now they've been off the calendar for a few years we miss them. Imo only the worst of the worst tracks (Sochi, Valencia, Korea) should disappear and never be seen again. The rotating calendar would also create competition and incentive to improve your track (like Albert Park) as it could be the difference between your track being rotated and getting a permanent slot. I'd have 6/7 locks that never change and the rest are either on 5-10 year permanent contracts or in rotation.

[@ColeYote]

Out of curiosity, if FIA grading weren't an issue, what else would you throw on there? Personally, I think Autopolis, Brno, MotorLand Aragon, the Slovakiaring, Road Atlanta/America, maybe Sonoma, maybe Misano, maybe the Lausitzring, and obviously Le Mans/the Nordschleife/Mt. Panorma would be fun (albeit difficult to do safely). Or if we want to see some absolute chaos, maybe let's throw in Sebring for the insane bumpiness and Norisring for the sub-40-second lap times.

The only way i'd be ok with it is if they get rid of chicane after the tunnel, have a sharp turn before the swimming pool chicane, and then get rid of the swimming pool chicane so that they go straight to the hairpin. This does make it look kinda like the first sector of baku which i think will decent impact the racing there

[@LawVS]

I wouldn't keep Monaco in its current guide. I would insist that the ACM modify the track somewhere near the tunnel section to give us a longer straight going into the tunnel.

[@thomaskompier2757]

My calendar is(not in order): Albert Park, Bahrain, Jeddah, Hockenheim, Spa, Monza, Zandvoort, Hungaroring, Silverstone, Baku, Monaco(With some changes), Redbullring, Shanghai, Suzuka, Montreal, Budapest, Kuala Lumpur, Cota, Mexico, and Brazil(Has the be the last race of the season). A 20 race season is perfect.

Sugo is Grade Two and is home to Super Formula so with the right modifications, it's possible; but it's a very short track and we'd have F1 times sub 60 seconds, possibly even 55 seconds.

[@adityairawan1843]

@@LawVS Indeed, it's the length which makes me unsure. Motegi and Autopolis are long enough for F1, but Sugo doesn't seem to be long enough. Moreover, the possibility of train forming is high considering Daiki Sasaki won a Super GT race there, back in 2016, by forming a train after he went with no tyre change (while the ones behind him did).
