My home track I absolutely regularly enjoy is Sebring... yes even the crazy bumpiness which is the beauty of it!
But I'd like to track at Road Atlanta, VIR, and Laguna Seca... and also COTA. I'm targeting at least one of these tracks this year.
Dream track outside N.A. would be the Ring, Spa, and even Silverstone.

My wife told me I'm her tour director so I should make a list of tracks I want to go to and plan a vacation trip.
disclaimer: since we live in TX, COTA isn't eligible because we've driven it. Also, have driven Road America (want to go back) in WI, Barber in AL, Putnam Park in IN, Utah Motorsports Park in UT, MidAmerica in IA, Heartland Park in KS, Harris Hill in TX
Have a trip planned to Rennsport in September so good time to drive some CA tracks either before or after (only had a parade lap at Laguna)
Any thoughts?
cheers,
Steve

Nordschleife - done, but will go back
Spa - already booked for this summer
Portimao - sometimes maybe...
My personal favourite Bilster Berg is not on, I drive there very regularly. Mini Nordschleife, super technical but run off zones and save. Whoever comes to Germany should consider that one...

Charlotte Motor Speedway at night under the lights in the ROVAL config... have been my best laps yet.
...and come to Caffeine and Octane in Atlanta the first Sunday of every month for more car **** than you can take in one day.

Steve, when you come up to Canada, (I assume Tremblant with Rennsport in September), try and stop at Calabogie or Mosport or both. Calabogie is a beautiful track, very technical with 20 turns. Its a track that requires patience before getting back on the gas to be quick otherwise you just understeer everywhere. Mosport is great but in a different way. Much higher continuous speeds with less turns and no noise restrictions. And if you have the time WGI isn't that far away from the Rennsport region. Now that's got speed and turns with lots of blue walls to keep ego's in check.
Definitely need to come to Canada (need a passport first) but I should have been more specific. Going to Rennsport Reunion VI at Laguna in Sept.
Great suggestion to combine WGI with the Canadian tracks. Trip planning commences!

Tourist drives? I’d rather call those terrorist drives, that’s just madness. Don’t even do them on Nordschleife. Not sure Spa has them? Bilster Berg with commercial operators is rather cheap during weekdays and you can chose from rookie (follow the leader) to seasoned (on your own).

Top 3 I've driven:
Nordschleife VLN configuration
Spa
Sonoma
I'd like to try anything I've either raced on sims or watched on TV to make that connection. I'll never get to take BP at Yankee Stadium, but I can race on the same circuits as my heroes!

It's quite interesting that many of us rank Spa a one the our top tracks; which I totally agree with. Obviously mostly Americans and northern hemisphere folk on the site, but if you ever do get the chance to come to Australia and can make it to either the Porsche Clubs at Easter or the Challenge Bathurst in November and can access a car then Bathurst would be a treat for you. Spa 7.0 kms and 19 turns vs Bathurst 6.2 kms and 23 turns, but the great thing about Bathurst is the 150m of vertical elevation changes (300m at Nurburgring but over 21 kms) which makes it very challenging and that bit edgier than Spa which has enormous runoff zones and a lot less vertical change (though not sure how much exactly)
