There has to be a poster of that somewhere for me to buy and hang in my garage. BUT WHERE!

I like using the IOM TT course as the perimeter but including Port Imperial is just a waste of space.

I recognize Daytona, VIR Grand East, Pocono, Le Mans, Nurburgring, Road Atlanta, what I assume is Indy, and again, I assume that Watkins Glen is on there (I just don't know the course well enough to spot it … maybe it's the one right above Pocono/VIR ? )

plus, what is the one (on the left side) that doesn't connect with itself (some kind of point to point event ?)

i bet one of all the nascar tracks would we really cool.............

to a degree, the all look alike

other than the road courses and Pocono, how many are substantially different from each other ?

According to the legend, the perimeter is the Snaefell Mountain Course. Is that the Isle of Man?

Also, I assume that these are supposed to be at the same relative scale, but maybe I'm wrong. If they're not, it loses a lot of coll factor.

V4 two-stroke diesel aircraft engine. Mostly popular in pushers (that's where I've seen it, anyways)

Well there are the cookie cutter tracks like Auto Club, Michigan, Las Vegas, and Kentucky which are so berkeleying boring.

Then there is the other cookie cutter tracks like Charlotte, Atlanta, and Texas which are a little better.

Mind you, these tracks do NOT all drive the same, the surfaces are different Charlotte and Atlanta drive alot different despite having the same banking.

Then there are the one off tracks that are unique as Pocono.

Phoenix with its weird "dogleg"(in between 2 & 3) that you can cut which makes turn 3 sketchy almost every lap.

Darlington, another non-symmetrical track that tends to lead to berkeley ups.

Martinsville, the paperclip.

Bristol, the small "stadium" track.

Yeah they are all circle tracks but not all the same. Even the sister tracks drive different. With that said, the road course poster is waaaaaaaaaay cooler.

I realize that they don't drive the same … but mostly they're ovals or tri-ovals, whether they're 1/2mi., 3/4mi., 1mi., 1 1/2mi., …..etc….
