Default Is Singapore the worst track on the calendar
It's certainly the most boring to look at, just concrete barriers.

Yes, it is absolutely hideous... Just concrete... Dark... I'll as far as saying it is depressing to watch.

Valencia will always be the worst, by a long chalk.

Funny how peoples view differ, its one of the new circuits I like.

I hate UAE, Bahrain and Valencia but I always like the challenge Singapore poses. Also the wide shots of sky scrapers, road cars and F1 cars makes it a fantastic mix.

so my answer is certainly no.

Valencia isn't great, but it doesn't depress me as much as Singapore.

Completely agree. Not quite sure why Singapore is any worse than any other street circuit. If you don't look outside the track Monaco could be considered just as boring aside from the tunnel. Perhaps Singapore seems boring because you can't see as much of the scenery because it's dark.

I know the BBC guys say they like being there but the atmosphere just doesn't come across on TV. I don't like any of the new circuits.

Personally I like this GP very much, I think that it is the best new race in F1.

As new tracks go I don't mind Singapore. Valencia is easily the worst track. It's the ugliest by far, also the layout tends to spread out the field to make overtaking impossible even with the flappy wings and bad tyres. I also don't really think that "street circuit" and "high speed" should be in the same sentence, it's unnecessarily dangerous for somewhere that doesn't actually provide good races.

The circuit looked phenomenal in HD, I must say, especially when it got properly dark.

Armco/concrete - aren't all street tracks like that?

Singapore has an interesting backdrop.

Valencia I absolutely detest. Pits apart the rest reminds me more of Hull.

The Birmingham Superprix was a hundred times better than Valencia.

Valencia and Singapore, both boring, except for wrecks and safety cars.

+2 If they do one thing to change F1, they need to never go back there...

I was at the Singapore GP last year and I've driven the circuit at night in my own car. From a spectators point of view it's one of the most amazing races of the season. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it this year but I had an amazing time there last year and I'll definitely go back next year if I can.

I really like this track and I wouldn't like to see it go from the F1 calendar. I loved last years race between Seb and Alonso. It was great to see them both push each other for 2 hours.

Ok, Seb is in a league of his own this year, but it still provided a lot of entertainment and there's nothing like seeing an F1 car at full throttle in the dark.

The sooner Valencia and Singapore disappear off the calendar the better IMO. They are pretty dull lets face it.
