Track size comparisons

As seen on reddit. A good start for one heck of a bucket list.

Cool. I hadn't heard of Avus. Interesting turn and burn layout. Apparently a public road now. If this map is your bucket list, you'll need a time machine. Assuming you wanted to run the tracks at speed, what would be the hardest to access? IOM needs big stones and qualifications. Pikes peak would have to be in a car (or an unofficial run but I suspect they have systems setup to deal with that).

That looks like it would be terrifying on modern equipment, let alone something from the 1920's or 1930's.

I would give them crap for no fence at the top but if you lost it, you would have so much energy that the fence may do more harm than good. At least if you fly off the top you get to enjoy the world flying by before you are killed.

I've walked daytona, it's pretty steep. Ski hills at resorts top out around 35 degrees. The steepest slope at Kitzbuhel is 40 degrees. Sheyza.

Edmonton still might be passable on a supermoto or a dirt bike if you hurry. Looks like the old airport is part of a subdivison development now.

DriveTribe has this to say:

In 1937 the north side hairpin was redesigned into a massive banked corner at an angle of 43 degrees which then looped back onto the straight meaning the average speed on the track was unrivaled at the time. The main issue is that while making the banked corner they neglected to put in any safety barriers so that if any car went a little wide would be launched into the air towards the spectators. It was appropriately named the wall of death.

So. How many of those have you ridden on?

In my case ... 9.

Going to be very hard to compete with that. I've got Mosport, and will add Calabogie this year. Unless you are willing to count my extensive PlayStation experience, in which case I am also a multiple MotoGP champion

Ah dammit, you beat me by 1.

I've ridden 8. Only 4 of those in North America though, if that counts for anything.

Looking at the Laguna Seca outline reminded me of the Ben Spies method of how to learn new tracks:
