Race tracks you have visited

[gm99]

Inspired by the "places you have been" thread, I thought it would be interesting which race tracks you have been attending (this being a motorsport forum after all ;) ).

So, here goes:

A1-Ring 1997-2003 (for F1, F3000 & DTM)
Brno (for MotoGP in 2004, WTCC in 2006 and 2007, will probably go to A1GP there later this year)
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve (for 2002 Molson Indy Montréal)
Milwaukee Mile (for 1999 Miller Lite 225)
New Hampshire International Speedway (for 2005 Sylvania 300)

And then there are two that I just have to visit at some time in the future:

Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the Indy 500
Bristol Motor Speedway for a NASCAR Nextel Cup race

[AndySpeed]

Only UK circuits I'm afraid:

Snetterton (1997-2007 ex. 2001)
Brands Hatch
Silverstone
Donington Park

I'm hoping to add Laguna Seca and Melbourne GP circuit to that list one day!

[raybak]

Bathurst
Winton
Phillip Island
Surfers Paradise - the permanent circuit that is long since deceased
Canberra V8 circuit - again no more
Calder Park
Sandown
Oran Park
Eastern Creek
Wakefield Park
Barbagallo
Adelaide GP circuit
Laguna Seca
Amaroo - gone
Pukekohe

So not too bad for Aussie circuits. Have competed at most of them as well.

My favourite is Bathurst, have plenty of time up there.

[ettelbruck]

Can't believe it's possible but I forgot Philip Island! Another Aussie on my list.

[inimitablestoo]

The rather unlikely twosome of Mallory Park and Daytona :s The latter only to have a look round and take the track tour, admittedly, but at least I can say I've been to Victory Lane at Daytona :cool:

Plus rallying when the RAC used to come through Sutton Park, the Bouley Bay hillclimb and - technically - the Birmingham Superprix course, although again not when the track was in use and it doesn't really count if you live in the city...

[real_illusions]

Donington on a few million occasions..far too many to count.
Brands Hatch (twice)
Snetterton (twice)
Croft (twice)
Cadwell Park (once)
Castle Combe (3 times)
Goodwood (once)
Anglesey (several times)
Oulton Park (twice)
Rockingham (quite a few times)
Bedford Autodrome (twice)
Norisring (twice).

Since i work on track days, most of them are track days ;) Apart from Donington, Rockingham, Brands and Norisring i have been to, to see some racing.

:)

[Easy Drifter]

OOOPS! I forgot Goodwood and Sunset Speedway.
