        European Tracks with Public Track Time

        I am taking a trip to Europe this summer in France, Spain, Northern Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and Belgium this summer, and would like to hit some tracks that are open to the public. I've already made plans to hit the Nurburgring, but what other tracks have public track time?

        You might check the events section for persons who frequent the Hochenheim circuit. While it may not be open to public events you may be able to participate at some club sponsored event.

        Got another option for you on the European track events. May be something you aren't interested in but Hocheheim has been open to the public, with small charge, for in-line skate days. Radio stations are playing it up and friends of mine spent the day cruising roads normally restricted to race cars...just a thought.
        Don't have skates? Not a problem, they rent them too.
