As Formula 1 continues its global boom, which circuits would make great additions to the future F1 race calendar?<\/h2>\n

Formula 1 will travel to 24 \u2013 yes, 24 \u2013 different venues in 2023<\/a>. However, as more dates are added to the F1 calendar, the less we are treated to some thoroughly decent circuits. Many of the modern F1 circuits lack the excitement and challenge for drivers, as well as the excitement and entertainment for viewers at home and in the grandstands. The question is which tracks should be introduced \u2013 or reintroduced \u2013 to the calendar?<\/p>\n

The tracks listed are also scored in terms of their design, and therefore, entertainment value, and how likely they are in being added to any future Formula 1 calendar.<\/em><\/p>\n

The original Kyalami was a thrilling circuit, hosting the South African Grand Prix between 1967 and 1985 before sanctions brought by apartheid ended its spell on the calendar. After the sanctions were lifted upon apartheid\u2019s abolition, it returned for a two-year stint in 1992 and 93, on a renovated and redesigned circuit, eradicating the dangers of the old one<\/a>. The circuit also hosted the first round of the now-defunct Grand Prix Masters, a series in which retired racing drivers returned to competitive action. Whilst the current layout perhaps lacks the exciting edge the original brought, it would be most welcome in Formula 1 today. Speculation is very much swirling around this very addition. F1\u2019s CEO Stefano Domenicali has met Kyalami\u2019s representatives about a return to the calendar<\/a>, but so far no concrete agreement has been made as to whether when or if it will return.<\/p>\n
