Ferrari Mailing List: Re: SPOILER --- Spa Reflections ---SPOILER

[LarryT (l02turner]

One more thing - you said <<What a race and what a track>>

   Got that right - IMHO Spa is the only true road racing track left where 
top level racing takes place.   When a new track is designed, it never gets 
places like eu Rouge or Stavilot - those places are accidents of the old 
cart paths that were the beginning of so many roads over the world.

   Wait - Monza has got to be included as one of the last great tracks. 
I;m a big fan of Monaco but a street track is a different animal.    Would 
love to see F1 go to Le Mans but not if it meant they'd make changes to 
satisfy Bernie.  Thay would destroy the character of the place.
