Purly in racing terms, not because you could go and have a better holiday there than another country!

Purley for the atmophere and the noise, and that it is a great race, it has to be Le Mans 24 hours.
...and of course it's one big party!! :D

Claw I'll see ya there.:D

Been to Bathurst heaps
Seen the bikes last year at Phillip Island

So to go to the Le Mans 24hr would be somethin else.

Went to Bathurst 24hr last year and that was awesome.

" BUT " Brands would rate a close second as I really like the BTCC

Has to be BTCC at Brands! :D

I did the Le Mans experience last year & can tell you that 48 hours of orange sand, sun cream & gusty breeze make you & everything you own look like you've been tango'd! And don't even start me on the toilets :eek: The cars were fantastic though - especially the gorgeous Bentley!

It has to be BTCC at Brands for me too!

Ann ~ I was trying to forget the orange sand and those toilets! Thank you for reminding me!!!!!!:p

For me it was between Aussie V8s at Bathurst and F1 at Monza. I've done Touring Cars at Brands and DTM at Donington, so would want to do something else, and with the Tifosi at Monza, that's the one I chose. I'd like to give it a year or two until F1 picks up though...

The mountain is really tempting though...

It would be BTCC for me as well. I was part of Ann and Amanda's trip to Le Mans and it is something I will never forget but not for the racing!!

Champ cars at Laguna Seca for me!

The speed and spectacle of a Champ Car is an unbelieve addictive sensation!

I would love to see Paul Tracy tackling the corkscrew with my own eyes!

I would rather watch Le Mans as it's a great social event and one big party like Claw said.

For me, it would be a toss-up between BTCC at Brands, V8's at Bathurst and Le Mans. They all have their own unique feel and it is impossible to compare them directly - it would be like trying to choose between a cat and a pizza.

HOWEVER, despite hearing quite a bit about Amanda's trip to Le Mans last year, that's what I would most likely choose for THIS season as Kelvin Burt will be driving a 550 maranello for Prodrive.

And as several of you know, given the chance, I would follow Kel to the ends of the earth to watch him race, take photos and make sure that he stays safe :)

Got to choose the pizza. Unless I can have some complimentary garlic bread to go with the cat...

I've gone for BTCC and Brands, but I think in terms of another series I would have to say I would love to see the Monaco Grand Prix.

I voted for Champ Car in Laguna Seca. That's one beautiful track. I want to be somewhere at the corkscrew.:)
Followed the series when it was shown on Eurosport. Now that it's not, I haven't watched it for years.
Just saw that they were racing in Belgium (missed it). Thinking about watching it in september when they come to the Netherlands (Assen).
