The old Nürburgring, one of the most famous circuits in F1 history.

This is a list of circuits which have hosted a FIA World Championship race from 1950 to 2007. In total, 65 different circuits have hosted World Championship races. The first to do so was Silverstone, where the first World Championship race, the 1950 British Grand Prix, was held. The longest was Pescara Circuit (25 km) which normally held the Coppa Acerbo race, and hosted one World Championship race, the 1957 Pescara Grand Prix. One of the most famous is the old Nürburgring (22 km) which hosted the German Grand Prix from 1951 to 1976.

Current circuits (those 18 tracks which will host one race in the 2007 season) are shown in bold. For the 2007 season schedule it has been announced that the Japanese Grand Prix will switch from the Suzuka Circuit to the Fuji Speedway[1]. There has been media speculation that Suzuka may retain a race under a resurrection of the Pacific Grand Prix[2]. According to formula1.com the Fuji track will host the 2007 and 2008 GP's, whereafter Fuji will alternate with Suzuka. The Mexican Grand Prix is due to make a return to the Formula One calendar at a new $70 million circuit, Mantarraya Circuit, that will be designed by Hermann Tilke and built near Cancún[3]. It could replace the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari at Imola. There are many different forms of race track used throughout the history of Formula 1; from the race only tracks like Suzuka Circuit, Country road tracks like Spa in Belgium and city street tracks such as Monaco. A recent announcement was made that India would be hosting the 2009 F1 Grand Prix.
