Purely going by name and not anything else I would vote for Kyalami - I love the way the name rolls from one tongue...
Imagine an Australian pronounincg that. Sounds funny... "Kaya..lami ... mate"

Laguna Seca... so smooth lol
Okay... so Brand's Hatch or Croft aren't going to win any prizes here in the UK.
I really like Mugello or Imola. 8)
The Nordshliefe seems like a pretty nasty name too :twisted:

I always thought Sears Point was a cool name. It's new name, Infineon Raceway isn't too bad either.

My favourite race name would be 'Race to the sky'.

The late New Zealand rally ace Peter 'Possum' Bourne was killed there last year.

Always found Nordschleife as the coolest name on a racetrack...
Barbagallo, Mount Panorama, and Nürburgring. Pikes Peak also sounds cool. 8)

Targa Florio is a race driven on public roads.
Spa-Francorchamps, Fiorano, Suzuka, Interlagos, Brands Hatch, Indianapolis
All cool names, exuding history. Difficult to choose.

Ooooh, forgot about La Carrera Panamericana.
The name just rolls off the tongue. Anyone watch the Pink Floyd movie of the same name?
Another road race name I love is the Mille Miglia
