I agree, I think F1 would be a stretch. Lots of interesting other possibilities though.
I did prefer the street circuit, I think it really put Halifax on the map. Shame it departed. If it came down to having it or not, the Shearwater setting would work, but the streets of Halifax had some magic to it, and wow! How many people in Downtown enjoying and spending in the core.
It was quite the sight! Something about a Rothmans 944 Turbo that was brilliant in that setting.
Here's hoping.
