I was serving in Vietnam in 1969-70 and timed my "R&R" to coincide with the Tasman race in, I think, February of 1970. Of course, by that time, it wasn't the "real" Tasman Series.

Still, I'll never forget the wonderful hospitality of the Australians.

I did go to Nivelles to see the 1972 Belgian GP. Not something to particularly brag about.

However, with the passing of time, I feel this has become something of a feather in my cap, in the same way as having seen some lousy West End production that lasted only two nights before closing, that has since passed in to legend.

Mind you, the place oozed atmosphere compared to some of the current GP circuits.

Presumably no one actually believes that? It sounds a fairly implausible claim to me, even given no constraints of time, funds or access; and even sticking to those currently licenced and in use.

[cheapracer]

Most of what other Australian's have posted.

Although no mention of Aurthur's Seat Hillclimb from any other Australian yet, I guess growing up in Mornington gives me an advantage there.

Have walked Monaco and now driven around 4 Chinese mainland tracks, Chengdu (A1 competed there twice) being just 5 minutes from my house.

I dont know about the cyclist but the memorial I am speaking of is for (I think two but could be wrong) racing drivers who died in 1920s. I suspect I have a photograph but it may take a while to find!!

[LittleChris]

I can now add Dieppe 1929 -1935. Cracking track !!  The increasingly steep downhill curving section from Val Gosset to St Aubin is as good as any bit of track in Europe in my view. Shame they've widened & straightened the road up the valley from St Aubin and made much of the esses into parking areas ( though if you follow the line up the last one, you're going through what was quite a photographed area where the spectators used to congregate on the hill overlooking the track).

Doohh... Forgot Le Mans

In more or less the order of which I went there.

Nürburgring (old one) - Was driven around
Nürburgring (new one) - Watched Group C racing
Spa-Francorchamps - Have watched both F1 and Group C racing
Monza - Watched F1
Istanbul Park - Watched F1
Montreal - Watched F1
Meadowlands - The now defunct CART Grand Prix guess either 1989 or 1990
Lime Rock - 3 day racing school in 'FFord' (or a FFord style car)
Shannonville Motorsport Park - 1 day racing school in F2000
Le Mans - 24 Hours of Le Mans (1988 and 2006)

Back in the days I raced in Go-Karts at

Roedby gokart track
Copenhagen Gokart track
Korsoer Gokart track

 

I can add Spielberg since last post.

[Colbul1]

I like this!  Especially as I went to Thruxton yesterday for the first time in 20 years and other than the new BARC building it seemed to be exactly the same!

 

So, for me:

 

Albert Park, Melbourne

Singapore (street circuit)

Indianapolis (US GP, not the 500)

COTA

Milwaukee mile

Spa Francorchamps

Silverstone

Donington

Brands Hatch

Thruxton

Goodwood (I'm counting the Revival)

 

I've visited Brooklands and walked Monaco the week after the race was finished!
