[edit] Comment

I corrected the coordinates of the circuit. The coordinates given are for the start/finish line, taken from Google Earth. I also added an external link to the files I made with the location of the circuits that hosted the F1 World Championship since 1950. These files include a link to wikipedia article, link to layout at FIA official site or RacingCircuits.com and a virtual lap around most circuits in 2006 F1 calendar.--Ciroa 18:02, 18 September 2006 (UTC)--

[edit] Mistakes

This article has some mistakes; especialy in the history secion. Maybe some english native with german knowledge can compare this with the german Wikipedia article, thanks.--NSX-Racer 13:17, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Can you expand on what the mistakes are and I'll see what I can do

The history line is partly wrong, e.g. it was not called "Kurpfalzring" from the beginning, just for some years later. The industry (especialy NSU) used the track as a test ground from the beginning AFAIK, not from 1936. Just look on the german version of the article for details - maybe some with better english knowledge than me can translate it. BTW: You may sign your posts in the future--NSX-Racer 15:56, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry it was me - cookies are disabled on the school comps so I couldn't log in. I'll have a look at the German one and see what I can do Jay-C

I have now retranslated the mentioned stuff. It would be nice if an native English speaker would do some proofreading. --32X 09:02, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2 Grand Prix

The article says that Germany was the only country that hosted 2 Grand Prix. This is incorrect, as Italy has hosted 2 for several years. I see this was changed beforehand but regardless that one of them was called the San Marino Grand Prix, it still took place in italy. - qbie

Japan also hosted 2 grands prix - the Japanese GP and the Pacific GP. In the 80's the USA also held two GP's in the same year. GK1 00:43, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
The contentious statement has now been removed. -- DH85868993 09:46, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
