Hi there,

EDIT..just saw the link in Forbins post:doh:

God I must have been drunk yesterday, because now I find lists with tracks everywhere :clapclap:

debatable if you can include top gear's test track, if you do that then MIRA etc need to be included as well

Awesome, we have incredible number of 1 here.

Well, same in Estonia

I'd debate the inclusion of Santa Pod drag strip also.

Darley Moor should be on there, that's a proper circuit about 1.5miles long, though only used for motorcycle racing, and perhaps superkarts iirc.

Kirkistown in Northern Ireland too.

Looks like that wiki article is wrong; it puts Kirkistown and Mondello in Ireland, whereas they're actually Northern Irish, therefore in GB.

Pretty sure Mondello Park is near Dublin.

three sisters in wigan too

It advertises itself as a race track but in all honesty it's just a kart track :|

You're right. I should research before I write.

Nice. I want live in Great Britain. There are a lot of racetracks and lot of races. In Czech Republic are only two racetracks (and few kart tracks).

Common sense would have saved you, because none of Ireland is in Great Britain dear Passo!

i agree top gear track is NOT a race track.
also they have missed out Blyton, Nutts Corner & Tockwith & a whole load of stockcar ovals.
there are a few hillclimbs in UK that might qualify but they dont complete a circuit.

its 3 cars wide on the back straight and around 2.5 in the corners

The width of a race track does not make it any more or less of a race track.
Take Cadwell Park for example, the last sector is quite tight, I think it would be a struggle to get 3 cars wide without having 2 wheels on the grass.

If you include drag strips then theres also Shakespeare County raceway. Carnaby up North somewhere, Dundrod and the Northwest 200 if you consider Ulster to be British...

New Brighton is a street circuit so is the Superprix so they shouldn't be in that list, and you can't test on the Top Gear Track, and there is, and never has been an official motorsport authorised race there anyway. the Top Gear Track is just an airfield. It's not something to be in that list, no actual racing even goes on there... Santa Pod is a dragstrip only, if thats on there, then Avon Park should be and so should York raceway.

Lol no ones raced on the birmingham superprix layout in 20 years!
