Look at this link. The choice of awesome GT3 friendly roads is tremendous.

HPR looks fun. Guess that would be the home track I'd hit most often. PPIR looks a bit boring -- and I watched a couple laps of horrendous driving in that video

Any others within 4 hours? 8 hours?

I always thought that a turbo would perform better than a SC since it benefits from a waste gate. Anytime the gate is open, the engine should be at full pressure and full power, all else being equal. A SC engine, on the other hand, doesn't have a waste gate so any drop in outside pressure results in a drop in power.

Pueblo is another local track about 1.5hrs south of Denver. Miller Motorsports park is 8hrs away and probably one of the bast tracks in the country.
