Just thought if there was a website or something to show a list of tracks near you, might be some there that you don't know of.

ANYWAYS, how close is the nearest track to everyone?

I think the closest track to me that I know of (excluding for a sprint car track) is about 2 hours away sadly... Dang you Seattle!

So, wheres that track thats supposed to stop street racing in my area? :/ we really need one..

So, how lucky are you in terms of track access?

Theres 1 like 45 mins away from me. Ive heard of like 2 more that are close to where i live but ive never been them. Only heard "Oh theres 1 in vista" and somewhere else. and the 1 thats 45 mins away is a stadium and isnt open that much.

Barbagallo Raceway is about 15mins away from me. And when I move i'll be about 2mins away from it.

Barbagallo Raceway is a motorsport circuit located in Wanneroo, approximately 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Perth in Western Australia.

The circuit was originally known as Wanneroo Park and the first race meet took place in March, 1969. Initially the major race per year was a 6 hour Le Mans style race for sedans and sports cars known as the Six Hour Le Mans. However as interest dulled in that event, production car racing took over as the major race type.

In 1979, the Australian Grand Prix was held at Wanneroo Park which coincided with the opening of the new pits and paddock area to the west of the circuit. In 1992, it was decided that a short circuit would be constructed by linking Turn 5 on the current circuit to the back straight forming a new 1.7 kilometres (1.1 mi) long circuit. This extension was funded by Alf Barbagallo and hence the circuit name was changed to Barbagallo Raceway. The short circuit allowed for an increase in the types of racing including the inclusion of truck racing and also allowed events to be run at night.

The circuit was completely resurfaced in 2004 and this saw almost all lap records broken in the first few months of 2004. The surface changed from an abrasive surface which was renowned for being very hard on tyres to a grippy, smooth surface.

Today the track holds a number of major race meets each year, with the biggest being a round of the V8 Supercar championship. This is one of the biggest sporting events in Western Australia each year with over 50,000 people attending the 3 day event.

Montmeló is 20-25 minutes from my home

Here in Bulgaria we have the best tracks for motocross and supermoto. About 4 hrs drive time from Bourgas, through narrow and twisty roads - big fun (:
The nearest F1 track is Istambul Park, Turkey - 3hrs max drive time.
Near Bourgas, the BG Rally Аssociation has an event, but it's on a street course.

I think the closest to me is probably Knockhill which is about 15-20 miles away I think. I'm taking a spin out in there in the summer when I have free time, just to check it out. I should really see if their doing any courses out there, make the trip more exciting.

When I'm at my own room:

Circuit Park Zandvoort(1 hr train journey):

When I'm at my parents:

Zolder(30 min drive)
Spa-Francorchamps(1 hr drive)
Nürburgring(1 hr drive)
Zandvoort (2hr drive)
Hockenheim(2-3 hr drive)
Assen(2.5 hr drive)

:)

Montmeló is 20-25 minutes from my home

Damn you are lucky!

My nearest track is 10 minutes from my house in Mallorca. I dont know which is the closest in London.

Out of the bigger tracks, Brands Hatch. Maybe there are some smaller tracks nearer to London that I'm not aware of.

My nearest drag strip is 45 minutes. My nearest dirt track is about 30 seconds. My nearest proper road course is a couple hours.

The nearest Oval (yawn) for me is 45min....
The nearest REAL circuit (Lime Rock Park) is like 90 minutes away
This is the layout for Lime Rock Park...

Either Silverstone or Brands Hatch, too lazy to check which.

I don't think there are any race tracks in Switzerland. But I just check Hockenheim and thats nearly 3 hours away. Dijon-Prenois, a seventies F1 track, is a touch over 3 hours away as well. The Nurburgring is a touch over 4 and a half hours away.

Portland International Raceway (PIR) is located in Portland, Oregon's Delta Park complex on the former site of Vanport, just south of the Columbia River.

The track hosts a Champ Car race every year and ICSCC and SCCA road racing and autocross events. The facility includes a drag strip and a motocross track.

The road course is almost perfectly flat and runs clockwise. Two track configurations are possible. One includes a hard chicane at the end of the front straight and involves twelve turns at length of 1.967 miles (3.17 km). Without the chicane, the track has nine turns an a lap length of 1.915 miles (3.08 km).

Oh yeah, and it's about 15 miles away from my house. Champ car anyone?

Portland is a great track, I always love watching the Champ Car or ALMS races that they hold there.

At college, my closest drag strip is about 15 minutes. As for circuits, Daytona is about an hour and a half, Moroso is about two and a half hours, and Sebring is about three hours. Oh, and when I'm home Gainesville has a track that is about an hour and a half away.

Muahahhahahahhahaha!!!!! (along with Rouin)

Road America!

It's about 10 min away and i go there all the time. its the best!

My nearesr track is Mallala Motorsport Park, its a good hour away. Been there once and saw some great racing. Not an overly difficult or long circuit. Still great though.

I went to Road Atlanta (95 miles) to watch sports car racing for decades. Despite the fact that my Mom now lives 6.5 miles away (bed/breakfast/hot shower!); since Doc Panoz' lackacompetition alms series took over, I have only been to 2 of 10 Petit LeMans races.

I now consider Barber Motorsports Park (115 miles) as my home spectator track. In the last 3 Rolex races there; multiple cars finished on the same lap. The place is gorgeous.
