Real World Tracks in Google Earth

[kdryan]

I was playing around with Google Earth tonight and thought this might be interesting. I couldn't find too many of the City Circuits, but here are the big ones.

Suzuka Circuit

Tsukuba

Nurburgring GP

Laguna Seca

Indianpolis Motor Speedway

Daytona International Speedway

Monza

Fuji Speedway

Apparently half of Suzuka is a cloud...

Cool stuff though. I tried tracing the entire Nurb 24 hr track. No success.

Google Earth is fun...especially the StreetView...you can find people doing interesting stuff lol.

It's quite interesting to look at the tracks in Google Earth. I was able to find Rome Circuit and Monaco on my own. Can't find Circuit de la Sarthe though.

Can't find Circuit de la Sarthe though.

If my link works properly you should find a marker right at the start finish line.

Circuit de la Sarthe

Zoom out on the Nurburgring GP to see the entire track. its pretty cool

Works perfectly. Thanks.

cool pics from laguna seca

I wonder if they had the google-street van go on the course, or if they mounted the 360 camera on a racecar

 

[Negrumir]

And while I'm at it, The Top Gear Test Track

They were racing Google street-vans.

It is labeled as Nurburgring...

Took a wander round Tokyo R246 on street view a while ago. Very cool.

 

[GAFFiO]

Awesome idea. Kudos to OP. I love google maps I dont know why I didnt think of this before

 

[Rossticles]

I was going to say Laguna Seca has StreetView, but was beaten to it.

 

[dwayne84]

Really cool stuff, thanks OP.

Nevermind, found it now!

 

[e1beatsdotcom]

Great job! Laguna seca definite win

 

[JTSnooks]

Might as well add Road Atlanta to the list. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to get the direct link off of Google Maps, but if you just search "Road Atlanta" you'll find it.

Nice work on putting those together. Man that would be awesome if PD had the rights and put the Monza oval in the game when the track was new. So much history there...👍

 

[robert1]

suzuka has street view 2

and turboprop...ild love to have the monza oval 2

 

[tomhart9]

cool stuff!

 

[NFSCARBON1]

For London (not technically a real track but the roads are real) just search for Piccadilly Circus, London. This is the last corner of the track.

 

[gogatrs]

As were on the topic of google earth, try going to mars and search for the talking robot.
Another cool thing to do might be to replicate that Top Gear by flying around their Test Track while using the flight sim.

My teacher in school starting getting p***ed when I began playing terrorist using the flight sim.

As he should have been...

 

[Andy89]

Rome Circuit

 

[Hypergolem]

Le mans or better Circuit de la Sarthe
coordinates (just paste them into google earth)
47°57'4.33"N
0°12'26.91"E

Part of the track is a normal road so it has street view (the long straight)

 

[maxpontiac]

Rome Circuit

Now that's cool.👍

Nice, Tsukuba looks awesome... (I like the look of that little Kart track to its right)
