Track in CA that *looks* like European F1?

Sorry for the bandwidth, I'm in a crunch.

(oh, and mods, move at your discretion, sorry!)

Already done and they're looking into it as well. As far as fast cars and racetracks I thought the Pelican BBS to be a tad more...mmm...educated in those areas!

Thanks!

I'm sure you'll get answers both ways. Plus, contacting the tracks directly could yield the pictures you need pretty rapidly. Although I've found that the Cal' Film Folks move pretty quickly after you mumble something about having found a suitable location in Vancouver...

Good luck.

If you need an affordable track, and want the look of winding corners with rumble strips, then Thunderhill's what you want. Mercedes and Ford both recently used it, and each repainted the track's rumble strips in the company colors.

If you need the look of a track and facility that would be in keeping with F1, then Sears Point (now Infineon) or Laguna Seca (now Mazda blah blah blah) are the way to go. But these last two are not cheap to rent.
