Default What is the your special-favourite race track?

Well for me it´s the Interlagos race track....the first time i got there was in the F1 2003 race...i was pretty pretty happy just to be there..it was a dream to me.....
some months later i could do a lap in my friend´s audi A3...it was just amazingly, i just knew the entire race track as know my house, and, to drive there was one of the best sensations i had. The car is not so fast as a race car, but i could set about 190-195 km/h on the end of the main straight. very very exciting

so this year i had the chance to get an almost whole lap by foot there. I could walk untill the half of the track, because there were going some races on that moment....but it was a realized dream to walk inside the track...i took some pics, and must put them on a server...so i´ll try to post here some of them...

You guys can think that this is nothing, for who is used to do this. But for me was just special. Very special. I would like to drive there again so i´ll make a race car driver course there this year.

Now Just tell us the your special experience

Yep, I'd put Bathurst 2nd only to the 'old' Nordschleife Nurburgring.

Unfortunately I haven´t ever driven at a track (which I hopefully will do sometime soon) so my opinion isn´t really well funded but if I had to choose it would be the Nuerburgring Nordschleife and Spa Francorchamps .

Nürburgring Nordschleife, and Hockenheim (since I can go there in less than an hour, not because of the track layout)

aw man difficult... Nordschleife, de la Sarthe, Spa Francorchamps, Monaco
(i like circuits with alot of atmosphere and history, also all of these tracks arent so artificial as many of today's tracks, look at Bahrein, Malaysia, new Hockenheimring, etc etc.)
Also ofcourse these tracks are jus awesome in layout, they all have incredibly cool corners in them

Nürburgring Nordschleife.

The A1 Ring does not exist any longer.
Dietrich Mateschitz (boss of Red Bull) is the new owner of the whole terrain.
But he has the intention to build a whole new racetrack, a driving safety center, a kart track and a motorsport and flying academy.

Its a very difficult question to answer...because im a big fan of urban circuits......but at the end of the day my favourite circuit is the Spa-Francorchamps as well (the former version, with the quick Raidillon) due to the Raidillon, the first curve, the last part of the circuit
