The first one should be easy, the rest may be harder. First person to guess them all wins a free 737-MAX
The top picture is Fuji. If you didn’t know that I’m very dis appointed in you.
This is Sportsland Sugo, a really cool track that’s sort of like the Japanese Road America- fast with a lot of elevation change and two big straights. I’m not sure why it isn’t more popular, it always gets overshadowed by the other “big” Japanese tracks- Fuji, Suzuka, and Motegi.
The next track is Nikko circuit, which is a popular track for amatuer and professional drifing in Japan. The long Kousoku corner leads to the back straight which is one of the few spots that drifters can practice Sanpatsu, or a 3-part drift.-
Kousoku drops down sharply on the outside of the rumble strips which leads to some 3-wheel drifting-
This is Nelson Ledges, which you probably wouldn’t know unless you live near it like I do. It’s about halfway between Cleveland and Youngstown.
This track is pretty hard to make out, but that’s why it’s cool. It’s Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington, and it’s got a really old-school layout that goes through the woods. It’s also got a nice double hairpin
I’m surprised no one got this, it’s Potr ero de los Funes in San Luis, Argentina. It always gets brought up in conversations about beautiful racetracks. Sadly it’s not used much anymore, though it used to host GT1 when that was a thing. The track runs around a volcanic crater lake on top of a mountain, and it’s a semi-street circuit like the Montreal F1 track.
Anglesey is cool because if you go wide on the turn after the main straight, you drive off a cliff and into the Atlantic Ocean. It’s on the coast of Wales.
Vallelunga is a circuit north of Rome and it might be the only track with a hairpin as tight as Monaco.
Last is Mobara, another popular drift track in Chiba, east of Tokyo. People in big Toyotas like to get as close as possible to the outside wall on the big 180-degree turn

I know them all but won't tell because I'm afraid you'll give me a 737MAX.

Wow these are tough! That said I have always been horrible at recognizing tracks.
1 is Fuji I agree.
3 is Tsukuba
8 is Twin Ring Motegi?
Best I can do.

Damn. I suppose it could be Mount Panorama. But it probably isn’t that either.
And the first one could be the Nurburgring...but I don’t think Nurburg is as built up as that. It’s super rural.
Is hard

Fuji is right, 3 isn't Tsukuba but you're in the right country. 8 isn't Motegi

Right country but it's not Tsukuba. It's a popular drift track (along with 9)

I only initially recognized Fuji and Ledges.

It’s interesting to see the areas around the tracks.
You should check Watkins Glen and Lahaina Seca and see how close the houses are and why they complain.
Also check on whatever progress is going on at I-70 speedway as it’s a famous abandoned track that’s about to come back to life!! Used to asphalt will be dirt. Also add a dragstrip.
Gateway has a landfill across the street. LOL.
