Meg and Spanners use Madring’s disastrous, overtaking-starved debut as a springboard to examine what makes a truly great Formula One circuit. They discuss the importance of flow, character, challenging and raceable corners, runoff and track-limits enforcement, how modern aerodynamics can undermine classic tracks, and the tension between creating an impressive live venue and compelling racing for viewers.
