Here's one of Autobahn CC in Joliet, IL. It's a private track for rich guys but they rent it out a lot.

I'm always doing this in Google Earth... well, was. Don't use Earth much anymore.
By the way, when you give us those links, you just give us the center of the town, not the tracks in themselves. Lemme search those on Google Earth and load the .kmz here.

By the way, download Google Earth here if you don't have it yet.

I wonder if they took the sat images of Monaco during the race or during the time when it's just normal roads...*goes to find Monaco*

I just use Google maps since today or yesterday the whole Google map system was updated to contain the same maps as Google Earth.
And the links work fine for me.

It's supposed to be using the same maps since Google bought Keyhole...

Google Earth > Google Maps. Why? Placemarks, faster browsing, faster zooming, rotation, three-dimensional views of the terrain, Google Community placemarks (great stuff, although sometimes there's so many placemarks you just can't really see ****... try NYC!!!).


Here's a couple of my quick finds:
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Monterrey, CA (It's low-quality, but that's not really my fault. The maps haven't been uploaded correctly to Google's server...yet!)
Suzuka Circuit, Suzuka, Japan
Walt Disney World Speedway, Orlando, FL

And some bonuses and things that are not... official racetracks... but are still called tracks...
Tomorrowland Indy Speedway, WDW, Orlando, FL (lol)
Test Track, EPCOT, Orlando, FL (lol)

Bonus placemarks:
Honda Manufacturing of Japan, Suzuka, Japan
And something I found called "What the hell is this?!". Can anyone tell what it is?

very nice man! People who live near/ in Catalunya are so lucky! They get a road track and a rally all in their town!

Monaco looks like poo on Google. The sat images are stitched together right on the fvcking track!

All I can say is how absolutly incredible Modena and Maranello are. Italy is just amazing and from Google Maps I want to go there so much more now.

You love Italy by using Google Maps? Ha! Try using Google Earth to see all those surprising mountains. Try San Marino (not technically Italy, but it's still inside of the Italian peninsula). Following roads left to right, up and down and BAM! A small yet high mountain. WTF?

I'll try to post more throughout the week. Why not make an official placemark thread, btw?
