Workers drive on the rooftop test track at the Fiat factory in Lingotto. Jalopnik !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about this place back in 2010.
The building still exists, but now it’s a shopping mall.

That would actually make me want to go shopping.

How awesome would it be to operate a karting track up there? Of course, the lawyers would never allow it.

Add some curves along the straights and it’ll be fine. I’d totally pay for that.

I don’t know, all that straight-line space with the banked curves on the end might be pretty epic. Right up to the point where you punt somebody into the wall and they fall 5 storeys to their death.

There would have to be some serious guardrails and you would have to make sure those people who always smash into you would be taken off the course immediately.

The track makes a small cameo in the original
Italian Job,
because of course it does.

To be fair, these guys sit much higher than most race drivers these days.
Besides, who said we’re doing karts there?
Why kart when you can SAE? Those can be slightly up-sized so it’s just about 3/4 a Formulino Base racer (car on the right),
and can be re-tuned for full-on competition, including better, stickier Michelin slicks, but yeah, you get the point.
I also think this would make for a good mini Ehra-Lessien for model-car speed records.
