a bit OT: Griots Garage "race tracks of the world"
For the GT3 pilot who has everything ...

A bit pricey (IMHO) for some CNC wood, but I guess ... kinda cool gift for the office or the home den/garage!

At those prices it should be more than a flat cookie cutter. It should be 3D, depicting elevation changes and cambered corners.

Very nice! Would be awesome to have one each of every track driven. That would only be the Ring.. No US tracks..
