CAMPOROSSO
Description Proposal not developed dated 1976 for a permanent track that could have replaced traditional Montecarlo circuit, in case street circuit were interdict. The project would have been paid even by Principality of Monaco itself, in order to go on with F.1 Monaco GP. Its area is a plateau without trees. Start/finish straight, a slight climb, should have been approx. 500 m long. The track could have been built within three years.
