A race track needs a perfect combination of speed, complexity and downright difficulty to make it great. Corners like Parabolica and Eau Rouge are what make Monza and Spa so revered and respected. But what if you could combine all the greatest corners in the modern F1 circuit in one perfect ribbon or tarmac?Throughout the 2016 F1 season, Toro Rosso asked its fans to vote for their favourite part of the circuit at each of the 21 tracks. Then, when the votes were tallied, each corner was combined to form an intense (and immense) super circuit. At 9.9 miles in length, it"d take just 20 laps to reach the minimum race distance set by the FIA, but each circumnavigation would take drivers through the Monaco tunnel, up Eau Rouge and around Ascari, to name just a few parts of the lengthy circuit. That said, Eau Rouge does follow a right hairpin, which begs the question: would drivers be able to get up to the silly speeds that makes the most special section of Spa so entertaining?
