We don't have a god given right to a round. But the ACO puts out fan surveys and then doesn't act on what the results are. So it's understandable that the fans then complain about it.
2017 Fan Survey most popular circuits (in order):
- Le Mans
- Spa
- Silverstone
- Sebring
- Nurburgring
- Fuji
We've dropped 3 of them.
Most popular fan suggestion:
- Varied race lengths
Notice that they did do this - which is great. But they chose a circuit which didn't feature in the fans popular list, Bahrain. That's almost a spiteful commitment to the fan survey. Oh you like those races? You're not getting them anymore. But we'll give you a longer race in a place you didn't like. Don't say we're not good to you!
Yes of course Silverstone, Sebring and N'Ring don't have a right to be on the calendar. But you can't ask fans what they want, ignore it, and then expect them to be fine with it.
A fan survey was also launched for 2023, with results in November, but I can't seem to find those results.
