AVUS is a horrible track – it held the German GP once instead of the legendary Nurburgring, and on that race weekend saw the death of a driver due to it’s dangerous bankings.

Often overlooked when considering North American street circuits, the Toronto Indy is well worth seeing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Indy_Toronto

Oh lord how could I forget Birmingham. Strangely enough the Student halls I live in are right where the races were held (On Pershore Road/Sherlock Street) leading to the Queensway tunnels!!!!!! (What an amazing tunnel).

But what do you think of my choices? Leave your thoughts in the comments section there. And also thanks to Keith for letting me advertise on here – not only that, for mentioning this thread in the round-up! Thanks a lot! :)

Not all in urban settings but these are public roads made into awsome race tracks.

5
Isle of Man TT, I don’t even like bikes that much but I love watching them zoom round here.

4
Le Mans, those dam chicanes spoilt it a bit but it’s still awesome

3
Targa Florio, not much chance of blue flags here. (to be honest I’m a bit surprised no one mentioned it yet)

2
Monaco, This track is so tight, I love the way they keep driving it when the cars have long since out grown it, and the prestige is unmatched

1
AVUS, home of the ultimate hairpin and “The wall of death” If Tilke had no safety rules to worry about, he’d probably come up with a new AVUS. And it’s kick ass in a game (find it for Rfactor). The ultimate engineer’s track

It seems I like them old, real old. sorry for any spelling errors.
