Formula One Template‑class | |||||||

Since the German GP is going to alternate between the two circuits, Hockenheim isn't really a "former" circuit, now, is it? I suggest the template reads like this:
Watcha think?
I have added a section on future circuits as Valencia has been confirmed, and more such as Mexico, Abu Dhabi, Singapore are likely to be confirmed soon John Hayes 14:02, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
I realise that the Österreichring and the A1-Ring are the same place, but I think both should be listed in the template, because both names were used when the circuit hosted Formula One races, and the names are very different and people who don't know that they are the same place might wonder why the Österreichring isn't listed. Noting that it's one of the few cases where the circuit is always referred to by name rather than location. Thoughts? DH85868993 ( talk) 22:52, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Is the possible section really necessatry? They're not confirmed, they're just speculation ... Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 05:06, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Notice articles have been added to this template for the new Russian and Phillippine Grand Prix Circuit, only not to circuit articles, but to host cities - the articles have no information beyond one sentence on formula one. Russian Grand Prix article would be more appropriate than the link provided for the Russian city. -- Falcadore ( talk) 04:23, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
I think that we should list the 2012 US GP track as 'Austin' rather than the 'Circuit of the Americas'. This name is too long compared to the other tracks, and we use short-hand names for other tracks (Montreal instead of Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Interlagos instead of Autódromo José Carlos Pace etc.)
I think either use full names for all tracks, or none of them. SchueyFan ( talk) 03:49, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
I think the New Jersey circuit should be kept as "Port Imperial", as there are sources on the circuit page that support that being the name, and it's not much longer than "New Jersey" (three extra letters), unlike Austin/Circuit of the Americas, as detailed above.

There is a discussion regarding the recent division of this template into "Road courses" and "street circuits" at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Formula One#Template:Formula One circuits. DH85868993 ( talk) 06:06, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
It's unclear what the criteria for inclusion in this part of the template is. The Disneyland Paris article makes no mention of any proposed motor circuit or Formula One event. Having read through some old Motor Sport magazine articles I am aware that a street circuit in Rome appeared on the 1985 schedule as the host of the European Grand Prix, before being replaced with Brands Hatch, but that venue wasn't so much rejected as it was simply non-existent. I believe Fuengirola is in a similar situation, with a race having appeared on the schedule at some point in the 1980s before also proving to be vapourware, and the Fuengirola article makes no mention of any such proposal. With Port Imperial and Hanoi the races weren't "rejected" from the calendar, they just didn't go ahead due to external circumstance, and given the Hanoi track was actually built it's still possible (though not necessarily likely) that it will some day appear on the calendar. So far as I'm aware Copenhagen and London are just proposals that publicists have occasionally thrown around that haven't gained serious traction, and the linked articles make no mention of the proposals. Laguna Seca seems to be the one venue listed which was actually "rejected" from the calendar, as Phoenix was chosen to host the US Grand Prix over it, and that is mentioned in the article. It's unclear how that is relevant to a list of Formula One circuits, however. Laguna Seca has never appeared on a provisional Formula One calendar, let alone hosted a World Championship Grand Prix. If this section is included, it should probably be renamed to something more neutral and only list venues which actually appeared on official schedules, although I would not be adverse to removing it entirely.
