    For me this one isn't tough at all. I'd like to go to Italy but I'd rather drive Road America.

    I know we're supposed to "imagine yourself driving what ever you want. Not just your MINI" but if it wasn't a MINI it would be something else that favors handling over top speed, which makes Monza the less interesting track.

    I'll take the Indy road course since IRP is now closed to road racing.

    Indy Road Course.
    It would be amusing to drive at speed on the track with all that history. I have done a track day at California Speedway and it was cool to drive down the huge front straight and around the high banked turns.

    This one is an even tougher call for me than the last. The road course at Indy has been changed, though. They added another short dip into the infield to replace the big banked curve (a plus for me) but made parts of the infield section more boring.

    So, are we voting on the F1 course you can't actually drive now or the current track?

    Meh, I guess it doesn't matter which configuration. I really want to drive both tracks but forced to choose I'd rather visit Austria.

    Since this is imaginary Steve you can any configuration you want. I intended the original F1 course. The one Michelin can't handle. :wink:

    Well we have a tie with 4 each. As much as I would love to drive the ring I want to do the Indy course at speed. I did a quick parade lap back in 2001. (we got yelled at)

    So that make it Indy 5 to 4 over Red Bull ring.

    2 for the weekend

    Its hard to argue with that kind of reasoning. But haven't made up my mind.
