Formula 1 Seasons - Complete Track List

I've put together a list of the tracks used in the years (I believe) are represented by the classic F1 cars. I'm only counting up to 2001 as 'historic'. I've marked tracks that have matching historic versions for a given year in blue.

Where historical variants that are basically the same, i.e. the length must be identical (but things like run-off, sponsors, pit buildings and grandstand's etc may be different, some more than others) I've coloured them blue* but added an asterisk with the historic version year it most resembles.

Where the track is in game but has no appropriate historic version the text is in black.

Circuits not yet in game are marked in red and I've put the number of matching years they're used in brackets (they're in the minority so good going so far!)

This website is great resource for seeing where/when tracks were altered over the years: Home

The following would be the historical version of tracks already in game I think would would be cool. I've bolded some years just so that each year has a good number but ideally every year covered above could get it's own version as sponsors changed a lot during the 60's/70's/80/90's plus runoff designs etc:

Buenos Aires (No. 15 layout) 1974/1978
Buenos Aires (No. 6 layout) 1995/1997
Barcelona (1995-03 layout) 1995/1997/2001
Indianapolis Road Course (2000-2007 layout) 2001
Kyalami (1992-93 layout) 1992/1993
Donington Park (1986-2009 layout) 1993
Hockenheim (1992-93 layout) 1992/1993
Le Mans Bugatti (1965-67 layout) 1967
Mosport 1967/1969/1974

These are the tracks used in years represented but not yet in game:

1. Hungaroring (9) 1986/1988/1990/1991/1992/1993/1995/1997/2001
2. Mexico City (7) 1967/1969/1986/1988/1990/1991/1992
3. Magny-Cours (6) 1991/1992/1993/1995/1997/2001
4. Zandvoort (5) 1967/1969/1974/1978/1983
5. Paul Ricard (5) 1978/1983/1986/1988/1990
6. Detroit (3) 1983/1986/1988
7. Jarama (2) 1974/1978
8. Anderstorp (2) 1974/1978
9. Phoenix (2) 1990/1991
10. Melbourne (2) 1997/2001
11. Montjuic (1) 1969
12. Clermont-Ferrand (1) 1969
13. Nivelles-Baulers (1) 1974
14. Dijon Prenois (1) 1974
15. Zolder (1) 1978
16. Aida (1) 1995
17. Sepang (1) 2001

I would add the following circuits even though their exact years might not be represented. There are F1 cars in game that roughly cover when they were used:

Reimes (1966)
Rouen-Les-Essarts (1968)
Mont-Tremblant (1968/1970)
Caesars Palace (1981)
Dallas (1984)

 

Love this!

 

Great initiative, thanks.

 

I guess the tracks most in most urgent need of historic versions are:

Monaco (1986-96 layout)
Suzuka (1987-90 layout)
Suzuka (1991-99 layout)

These are obviously significant tracks in the career of Ayrton Senna, who (unsurprisingly!) is the focus of a lot of the historic F1 content. So maybe a Monaco 1991 and a Suzuka 1988 & 1991 would be the next logical tracks to get the historic treatment. Monaco was really where Ayrton most dominated, winning 6 out of 7 races in 1987-93. And Suzuka of course is really the track where the most significant events of his career occurred, from 1988-1991.

If we were to stay purely on a Senna based theme then Donington Park 1993 would also be a good one, as it's considered the venue of perhaps his greatest drive. And we even have the cars to (try to!) recreate that famous day now.

 

Awesome!
What exactly does a track being black mean?
Shouldnt Interlagos 1990 also be blue?

 

I assume black means the track and layout are in game

 

I've updated Interlagos 1990 (with 1991 being the version to use for this year)

as @Racinglegend1234 said, black text means a version of that track exists in game but there is no accurate historical version for that year.

 

So I was half right then

 

It would be awesome if someone knowledgeable, could list the best alternative for tracks that are 'represented but not yet in game'.
For example, Adelaide 1988 might be the best fit to replace Detroit for the 1983 season.
Some of the Brazilian tracks may be reasonably similar in length and shape to other missing tracks?
Just spit-balling ideas...

 

Pretty tough to be honest. I would go fo tracks in the same country at a minimum. For Detroit or Phoenix you could sub Long Beach. For Magny Cours you could sub Le Mans Bugatti (and at a push for Paul Ricard & Dijon). None of these would really work for me though
