What race track do you like most?

Hi guys,

I have been asking myself which racetrack might be the most popular one among BMW drivers (an all others) in the world...

I personally like most Laguna Seca and Nurburgring Nordschleife.

Take care of police

Christoph

As far as general track for all vehicles, I would vote for Nurbergrig and Laguna Seca as well, respectively.

I've never taken the M5 to a track event but if it would be possible I would absolutly love to drive on the Molson Indy Downtown Vancouver racetrack...I just want to take turn 5 at full throttle and feel the g forces pull me to the side of the seat coming out of the turn!

I dislike the Nordschliefe due to the amount of traffic on it - not a proper 'race track' - but challenging all the same.

I haven't tracked my car so i can't comment on which track i like but i think the best track is Monaco. Its the most technical and punishing track out there. A small mistake will make watch the rest of the race from the pits

Hey, I can say that since then, I have driven the Monaco street course back in March when I was in Europe...ok it wasn't all blocked out for myself but I did every turn from the Casino right down to the complexe de la piscine and it was a joy, even in my Renault Clio rental!
