Sky Sports wants to create the ‘Greatest Track on Earth’ with new fan survey

Formula 1 broadcaster Sky Sports is looking to create the ‘Greatest Track on Earth’ as part of a new fan survey it has launched.

The digital project will encompass iconic bends, straights and attractions from various grand prix venues to create the ideal circuit.

It will come from the results of a 13-question survey, which can be taken here, covers everything from viewing habits to favorite teams and drivers from F1's history, as well as all-important choices of specific track elements, weather, and fans at the venue itself.

Twelve corners can be chosen from the survey, including the likes of the tunnel into Nouvelle chicane in Monaco, Eu Rouge and Raidillon at Spa, Degner at Suzuka, the high-speed Maggots, Beckets, and Chapel complex at Silverstone, Circuit of the America's tight Turn 1, and the high speed Parabolica at Monza.

The opening straights of COTA, the Red Bull Ring, Baku, and Zandvoort are also on the table, along with Hangar Straight at Silverstone and Kemmel Straight at Spa among others.

The survey will run for the next week.

He was also comprehensively beaten in a kart race by Sebastien Loeb once, but who hasn’t been?
