--> 77 circuits in total have hosted a Grand Prix. A lot of classic (older) circuits have hosted {{not a typo|Grands Prix}} using different configurations throughout their history: [[Nürburgring]], [[Spa-Francorchamps]], [[Autodromo Nazionale Monza|Monza]], etc. Taking Nürburgring as an example, the first World Championship race there used the {{convert|22.835|km|mi|abbr=on}} configuration, but concerns over safety meant that more recent {{not a typo|Grands Prix}} have used a shorter, safer circuit.<ref>{{harvnb|Hughes|Tremayne|2002|p=76}}</ref> Formula One circuits were predominantly in Europe during the early years of the championship; as the sport has expanded, so has the location of its circuits.
