Quote from Forbin :How many tracks (strictly road courses) are there in your country/area?

1.Eastern creek International raceway 6kms

2.Oran park International raceway 30-40kms

3.Bathurst 250kms

Euroring - 38km

Kakucs - 50km

Pannoniaring - 278km

Mariapocs - 335km

That's all in our country, but at least there's plenty of good events. Only one i'm missing here is V8 Supercars.
Ricardo Tormo(Xest, València)- 15 km
Valencia Street Circuit(València)- 0 km
Circuit de Catalunya (Montmeló, Barcelona)- 350 km
Rockingham 25miles
Silverstone 50miles
Snetterton 63miles

Now all I need is a race car!
Croft - 54 Miles
Knockhill - 150 Miles
Cadwell and Oulton Park - 188 Miles

Kielder is also pretty close, WRC doesn't use it any more though
I knew this thread was going to make me hate you Brits. I'm surprised by the number of tracks in Canada, though.

Quote from SidiousX :1. Richmond International Raceway(D shaped Oval). 15 miles north of me.
2. VIRginia International Raceway. About 110 miles southwest of me.
3. Virginia Motorsports Park. 15 miles south of me.(drag strip, pinks was there once)

EDIT: There's also a countless number of local oval (dirt and asphault)tracks and karting tracks around here. Probably the most popular is Southside Speedway.

You must not be terribly far from Summit Point. Great tracks there, shame the main circuit has some surface issues. The Shenandoah circuit is a blast, though.
#18 - Byku
A lot ... to track in Poznań 350km, and to Kielce 250km. Almost half of Poland :/. Seriously in Poland we dont have many tracks, and I do not know even if it is possible to drive on it if You're not a professional driver...
Site of Cadillac GP- 16 mi
Marlboro Raceway(old abandoned track)- 10 mi

countless other drag strips and dirt ovals that i have NO interest in
Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb ~ 15 miles

Thats just the big tracks.. then there is alot of kart-tracks all over the place :P

EDIT: okey, didn't read the first post closely enough... didn't see that u wanted the distance TO the racetrack mybad! :P
dunno the distances sorry, but those figures are the lenght of the tracks..
Thruxton - 39.1 miles
Goodwood - 33.4 miles
Silverstone - 99.9 miles
Brands Hatch - 107 miles
Bedford Autodrome - 129 miles
Donington - 168 miles
Snetterton - 187 miles
Oulton Park - 214 miles
Cadwell Park - 228 miles

I could list more, but Cadwell Park is the furthest I would be willing to go. I go to Thruxton and Goodwood the most, so I guess my average would be about 35 miles.
#23 - 5haz
Brands hatch is only about 15 Miles South from me the other side of the river, and Snetterton and Lydden Hill are probrably within 100 miles too.

Furthest I've ever been was up to Croft, I think thats over 200 miles North from here, also Anglesey, which is in the middle of nowhere.

Pembrey is pretty far away also, over 150 miles out West.

Nearest though would probrably be Crystal Palace, only across the other side of the City, you can see it from here, sadly it shut years ago due to Noise and safety concerns.

If you count ovals theres Arena Essex only about 5/6 miles East of here, but thats only a quater mile dirt bowl used mainly for banger racing and the local speedway team (who don't tend to do very well!).

My town used to have a quater mile speedway track around a football stadium, but that shut years ago too and was built over.

For a small country like the UK, we do have quite a lot of circuits.
Rockingham - 10 miles
Mallory Park - 30 miles
Donington - 40 miles
Silverstone - 50 miles
Snetterton - 100 miles
Cadwell - no idea but about 60 miles (maybe less)
Bedford - about 50 miles
Dunsfold - 100 miles
Brands - 200 miles
Croft - 200 miles
Santa Pod - nearby apparently :S (where is Santa Pod??!!)
Knockhill - probably a bit too far
Mallory Park - 2 miles
Donnington Park - 27 Miles
Silverstone - 41 Miles
