For me either Spa or Brazil. However, I would have loved to have driven the 1990s version of Hockenheim (before they shortened it).
 
You need to go
If F1 is your thing (it’s mine) then the pilgrimage to Spa is a must do weekend
If you like endurance racing then the 24 hours of Spa is equally great
There is also bike racing there as well as a lot of track days. Even a run what you brung day

It’s such a long track with massive elevation changes so there are loads of great view places without paying for the grand stands

All the best

Thanks, I do love both of those racing disciplines (Generally I follow F1, WEC and at times V8 Supercars as the racing is wheel to wheel) an F1 race weekend at SPA is certainly on my list for one day. I believe it's over 30m elevation change from Eau Rouge to Raidillon and over 100m elevation change from lowest to highest point of the track. I would love to drive it in my car.

The prices compared to a British GP are also far more reasonable, I could go for a whole race weekend to Belgium for less than race day at Silverstone...
 
I3-8350K, 48GB, 2x 500GB M2s+1x500SSD, GTX980, Xonar AE. Hopefully upgrading to 10Gb this year. Server runs 24TB in one stack and 18TB in the other, should be upgraded to 48TB Raw this year, too. And 10Gb. Other machines include the G4560 with a 1050 that's currently folding on a 42" TV and this Precision 7510 with a 1535M, R9 275M, 2x1TB SSDs and 32GB. Was looking to upgrade my own rig to i9-9820X with 64GB but not sure that's going to be possible now.

Want to build a decent keyboard next, but Irises are not cheap. Vortex RGB in the office is nice but I ought to go TKL rather than 60%.

Very nice. I'm currently using my spare IBM keyboard (20+ year old) as my usual one is being cleaned. Unfortunately the spare has a knackered space bar ?. It's got a tremendous action, and is very very solid. I can't believe I only paid £1 for both of them back in the 90s.
 
It sounds like we need to have an A2OC social at Spa. Imagine all the A2s going around the circuit together. We could send the bill to Audi HQ, having done all their annual heritage promotional work in one weekend. :)

That would indeed be a sight. The 1.4 petrols may struggle with some of the circuit though
