Would any circuits be better in reverse?
Discussion
The other thread about Interlagos and Rio got me thinking.
Are there any race circuits that might work better in reverse (clockwise instead of anti and vice-versa)?
Interlagos would provide some unbelievable overtaking as cars come down the hill from the start/finish straight to what would become the right-hander at Juncao.

The problem is that what we want from a circuit in terms of excitement, tends to be contrary to what the powers that be want in terms of safety. I think one or two circuits have been reversed, but only as part of a partial re-design.Are there any race circuits that might work better in reverse (clockwise instead of anti and vice-versa)?

I have always wanted to try Eau Rouge the wrong way!
F*ck that - the entire Kemmel straight flat out coming into a downhill right left of Eau Rouge? Balls of steel and no fear come to mind.
I think it'd be a really interesting set of corners and the braking into Raidillon reversed would be... exciting!

Looks very short, but also very fast!
What you can't see in that picture are the elevation changes.And then watch Villeneuve and Arnoux duking it out in the French GP.

Wow, that is indeed a roller coaster of a track!And then watch Villeneuve and Arnoux duking it out in the French GP.
The racing there was also sublime. A little before my time, but certainly not beyond my appreciation. I see it was 80 laps to make up the distance, but I quite like shorter tracks so that's fine. It means if you have a particularly interesting or awkward corner, it comes round twice as fast and twice as often
