I have a question for your track rats (and racing enthusiasts in general). Before I ask it, I want to thank you guys for your input on my post about hydrogen powered vehicles. Hopefully, your input will help us assemble an unique experience for consumers.

Now I have another request for your input. Why would I want to do all the legwork myself? Anyway...we are looking for racetracks that may be overlooked by the major series, but offer a lot for participants in both track design (layout, safety, fun factor, etc.) and amenities such as NOLA Motorsports Park*.

What's your favorite local track? It can be a historic road course that hosts multiple pro series, a country club type facility, or even that short oval that has track days on their roval.

For your trouble, here is LFA wallpaper I found on the interwebz.

*If you haven't been to NOLA, you need to if only it's to experience a covered pitlane in the southern summer.

Good news: I live 20 minutes away!

Bad news: A membership costs $125,000

I sadly have no good circuits in my country(we only have some small karting circuits) so I can only answer this from a virtual perspective.Thanks to Best Motoring and Gran Turismo PSP,i've grown to love the Tsukuba Circuit,although I hated it at first,because I considered it too hard.I just really appreciate that I always have to be 100% concentrated in order to get a great lap on it.

Cheapest membership is $45K for ten years ($125k is for life) and you get almost nothing included. I'd rather have a crappy car and that membership than an expensive car.

I would drive the piss out of a shit box around that track until it was in pieces.

Watkins Glen.

Perhaps actually being born and raised in Watkins Glen might cause this to be slightly biased but it's a phenomenal track and its very easy to get on if you're new to the whole track day thing.

Lime Rock Park in CT,USA!
I am growing up going there (to young to drive), and I have been going there since about age 4.
