Default What is THE most coolest sounding circuit name?

What do you think? Monza? Fiorano? Hungaroring? Hockenheim? Silverstone? Nürburgring? Magny-Cours? Laguna-Seca? Sebring?(-a perfectly good name ruined by a car) Oulton Park? Croft? Suzuka? Nardo? Indianapolis? Interlagos?

coolest sounding

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"

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

Thunder Hill

The name captures perfectly the road racing nature of the course. Thats what I prefer in a name.

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