As loud as the roar from their V8 engines, motorsport just screams 'Glamour'. And what's a finer experience than to take in the thrills in the most exciting cities for motorsport? Wonder what they are? Read on!
Sure, there are plenty of other sporting codes that travel the world circuit every year but none can really rival the carnival of splendour that descends on a town when the those daring men in their racing machines roar through. Maybe it is the experience of danger linked with leading edge technology. The culmination of years of research and millions of dollars so as to meet the most natural of human wishes - to win.Maybe humans simply enjoy loud noises.More likely, we adore the locations, too!
These gems may not necessarily host the most famed or respected races but damn do they look good! Did I mention a trip to these destinations will make amazing anniversary gifts for men while keeping the ladies happy, too?
Barcelona
Founded as a Roman City, Barcelona looks back on a rich cultural history that has led directly to it becoming the fourth most visited city in Europe and the largest metropolis on the Mediterranean Sea. Lots of its architectural wonders have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites whilst its sporting pedigree is guaranteed with the presence of FC Barcelona at Camp Nou (Europe's largest stadium) together with the hosting of the Spanish Grand Prix and Spanish GT Championship.
Melbourne
Melbourne has hosted the Australian Grand Prix since the race moved from Adelaide in 1996. Few would argue the decision to award the the country's most 'cosmopolitan city ' with an event that really brings the world together. Considering itself the 'Cultural Capital of Australia, ' Melbourne was announced the planet's most liveable city by the Economist Group's Intelligence Unit. In addition to motor racing, the city has played permanent host to the Australian Open Tennis since 1972.
Monte Carlo
The Monaco Grand Prix is possibly the most famed race on the Formula 1 calendar adding to Monte Carlo's allure as a mecca for flamboyant style and wealth. Part of the Principality of Monaco with a total population of 3,500 residents including Formula 1 drivers past and present such as David Coulthard and Lewis Hamilton.
Sao Paulo
Named after Saint Paul this regional power-house has the biggest economy by GDP of all South American cities. The biggest city in the Southern Hemisphere, Sao Paulo has a population of almost 20 million. The metropolis has heavy cultural influence housing a number of prominent establishments including Sao Paulo Museum of Art and the San Paulo Art Biennial. Its motorsport connections secured with its hosting of the Brazilian Grand Prix and Sao Paulo Indy 300.
Sonoma
One of the prettiest places in California, centred round the largest plaza in the state, 8 acres (32,000 sqm) in size. Laid out in the classic form of a Mexican town the plaza was declared to be a Nationwide Historic Landmark and is now home to community festivals, Farmer's markets and over 30 restaurants. This North Californian city hosts the Indy Grand Prix, FIA World Touring Automobile Championships and Nationals Drag Racing. The wine isn't too bad either...
