That's a good thought experiment that one.
Nurburgring GP is one that still has self-enforced track limits. Whilst the new GP section has tarmac run off, the low grip level of the astroturf and the kerb shape make it unusable. There is a bit of extra used on the exit of the GP section, but that has to be tarmac as it's used for the no-stadium version. That's similar to Sebring entry to the backstraight.
But the rest of the circuit is grass and gravel. You can't really go off anywhere outside of the GP stadium loop and recover easily.

Obviously, they won't be going there, but Jerez is also still gravel and grass.

I had Mugello in mind, but after I watched an onboard I realised I was pretty out of date with that. There's still grass and gravel, but quite a bit of tarmac in S1/S2.
