I would agree about proper "race tracks" as opposed to the current crop of street circuits. However I am somewhat nostalgic about Monaco and I think it would be a shame to lose it completely. Having said that I think they have to make some changes to the course for it to survive. Apparently the FIA have said they aim to make the cars smaller but that could take many years and the track could be lost by then.

Lewis Hamilton said they should have Monaco tyres with very high degradation forcing 2 or 3 pit stops. The problem is that the FIA are mucking about with artificial aids to make racing more appealing. There is already an EV F1 series so lets return to ICE say 1.6 with twin turbos where packaging a tiny engine would allow the cars to be so much smaller

What an absolute farce Monaco was ! Just a procession for the rich and famous and Mercedes telling Russell not to drive any faster !! The majority of the drivers said that it was boring and I'm guessing a lot of supporters thought so too.
I took my campervan to Snetterton for 3 nights for the BTCC and really enjoyed it despite the weather and watched proper racing.
