I know we're all road racers here, but Indy should have been on that.

Road America is definitely on my list of courses to drive! Its cool to see these, Ive already done it with Road Atlanta and Sebring from Google Earth's eye view.

I've checked-out some tracks using Google Earth before but not a lot of those on that list. Thanks for sharing!

Wish they'd included coordinates or links to Google Earth. I'd like to explore these myself. Is it there and I just missed it?

Road America, check.

Laguna Seca, check.

Watkins Glen...

Watkins Glen...

You've got to be kidding; no Watkins Glen?

Oh, well. I guess two US tracks out of fifteen isn't too bad.
