I've learnt loads. Didn't even know Italy had motorsport. I'm googling now to find out if they have any good tracks. Found one called Monzer.

One of the nice things about Italian circuits is the corner names, which always sound so very...... ‘Italian’

And of course you’re never far from a decent pizza.

I take it this is a tricky question for us furriners, how about Daytona International Speedway from the first US Grand Prix at Sebring 1959, won by Bruce McLaren?

Wasn't it Sebring where that occurred?
And Black Jack pushed the Cooper over the line to win his first WDC.

Talladega was conceived by NASCAR founder William "Bill" France, Sr., who wanted to build the largest and fastest oval race track in the US, faster and longer than Daytona.

Daytona is 2.5 Miles long (4.02 km), with banking of 31° at all the turns. The tri-oval has 18° banking, with the back straight 2°.

Talladega is 2.66 Miles (4.281 km), with banking of 33° at Turns 1 & 2, 32.4° at Turn 3 and 32.5° at Turn 4. The tri-oval is 16.5°, with the back straight at 3°.
