Front straight and the downhill is still intact. One day I'll rent a golf cart, and do laps until I get caught.

It was the Glen for about 35 years, then I started doing the 10-hour drive out to Mid-Ohio. Mid-Ohio just keeps coming at you.
The Glen is a momentum track, whereas Mid-Ohio is a point-and-shoot track. Especially pleasurable if you are driving a lower powered car (Carrera) in the same DE group as the GT 2's, 3's and 4's. Notice how NJSP is absent from the favorites? There's a reason. (now, if there was a list for least favorite......)

Tracks with elevation changes add another interesting element over tracks that are pancake flat.

Watkins, so much else to do there. We made it a family mini vacation almost every time we went, at least 5-6 times a year. Mid Ohio, then VIR.

Pista di Fiorano has to at the top of my list
Spent many a pleasant morning/afternoon coffee break standing in the sunshine with my work friends shooting the breeze while watching all sorts of new and old cars being driven around Absolutely no 'foreign' cars are allowed to use the Ferrari test track but I was lucky enough to do one sensible lap in my 930 with family on board on our way to a big top tent for the Ferrari kids Christmas party

I've only driven at one, Manfeild https://www.manfeild.co.nz/ but I've been about five times. I don't think I'll go again the fact that I'm an old fella. More than two hours drive there, a day's racing then three hours or more to get back.

Le Circuit Mont Tremblant, for me. Spectacular track, and a spectacular location. Corners 1, 2, and 3 are glorious.
I live within three hours of four tracks. Three of them are world class -- Mosport, Calabogie, and Tremblant. The fourth, Shannonville, is only 30 minutes away and is a blast, but it lacks any elevation changes, so it isn't as fun. |

One thing I LOVE about Eagles Canyon is there are no concrete walls or tire walls to hit. Just grass run-off. And the track is new and super smooth. No crown to the road surface, all rain drainage is done with a slope to one side or the other and most corners have a slight camber. The trickiest corner is started right after a double apex corner, and it is downhill off camber and drops 80 feet and continues to the next corner. Hit it right and it is a blast, hit it from the wrong side of the track and you are likely going for a ride sideways.
I got 130 miles of track time and my tires were not chewed up at all. The track is that nice.

Baja 1000
Never driven the race, but have worked the "pits" multiple times. The scenery getting there (we normally try to get a pit as close to La Paz as we can) is so addictive.

The 'Ring, although I would also love to get to Spa and try that as well.
Here at home Road Atlanta.

Of all the places I raced the 914-6 was the long street circuit in Tecate , Baja CA MX. There was one section where the spectators would stand right on the curb where you would come out of a particularly slow section onto a brand new smooth paved long straight. I always loved the fact that the girls and women would throw us kisses as we went by!

I've only driven a Porsche at 3 tracks. One has already been mentioned.
But have never driven at this one. Although it remains a favourite.......
