After careful scientific analaysis, based on the criteria I mentioned in my last post (history, distinctiveness, quality of events, trees and gradient) I present the top 25 racetracks in the world.
1. Spa-Francorchamps
2. Brands Hatch (GP circuit)
3. Le Mans
4= Bathurst
4= Nurburgring (Nordschleife)
6= Isle of Man Mountain Course
6= Laguna Seca
8= Brno
8= Donington Park
8= Imola
8= Monza
12. Monaco
13= Macau Guia Circuit
13= Mosport
13= Road America
13= Road Atlanta
13= Suzuka
18= Cadwell Park
18= Sears Point
20= Daytona
20= Indianapolis
20= Oulton Park
23= Dijon
23= Fuji
23= Sachsenring
23= Silverstone
23= Sugo
Okay, so it ended up being 27, not 25, but that's statistics for you...

A couple of decent Tilkedromes - most particularly the much maligned Sepang, and the neat Otodrom Istanbul.
Agree with your top 5 though - ran into someone at a party last weekend who says she'll sort me out with a marshalling job at the Isle of Man TT next year. Looking forward to that one.
Oh, you lucky thing! Book your accomodation now though....
The best speedway is missing wheres talladega mate, also knockhill. Awsome list though.
Where the heck are the real decent tracks like the Adeliade Street Circuit, Norsring that most drivers love being at the actual events
