"Well at least mine anyway, I saw it when I opened the latest issue of Motorsport magazine and my jaw nearly hit the floor. I have to say it's the only new race track that has captured the imagination, It's like a combination of Spa and Bathurst. The scenery is just beyond words, it's built around a lake in San Luis Argentina and nearly 4 miles long. It was funded as a public works project by the government (I mean who else could afford to build something like that?). Carlos Reutemann is a major politician there so I'd be willing to bet if you dug deaper you would find he was behind it to some extent. It has hosted an FIA GT race already. There are hardly any pictures out there, and the circuit doesn't even have a website, but heres a few. This looks like its going to be a classic."

"stunning" barely describes it!

 

Looks incredible!

 

Would be nice to see an F1 on such a track. But it looks slightly too narrow for F1. Then again, Monaco isn't the widest track in the world either...

Absolutely stunning though. Lets hope we get to see lots of activity on it!

 

That track is amazing, love the elevation changes on it! Its very beautiful with its natural surroundings of lush vegitation,mountains and a sparkling lake below the race track.

From the top view section it looks like 3/4's of the track you could put your foot into and never let up...I like that!

 

Damn...

 

Amazing but i'm not sure about how safe of a track it is

 

I sure would like to take a vacation at one of those houses on the hill....maybe some free track time with a 1 week stay , now that's what I would call a vacation...my wife; however, hmmmm, not so much

 

taht track reminds me of the old F1 movies from the 70's? maybe mr Alnie can elighten us wit his knowledge of old school movies. since you know he is the Grand Father of racing

it also reminds me a of a track on GT5p the ALps for hte drifting mode.

 

"Grand Prix" FTW... w/James Garner

 

Wow

 

Looks plenty safe to me. I thought for a second on the one pic that they just had a guardrail seperating the cars from the cliff and lake but the track is further away from the lake. That must be a pit/access road.

Someone want to fly my car down there for me so I can drive this?

 

Dunno, i'm used to other "safety ways" or how you call them. Anyway who cares, that's a hell of a track!

 

+1 - Stunning is actually an understatement.

that thing is gorgeous!

 

Don't Die

 

God that is nice looking!

 

I wish I could drive on it.

 

Esto si llamo una pista de verdad!! Que hermosa esta pista y me recuerda a mi adolescencia en Suramerica... Those times...

If you have never been to a racetrack in SouthAmerica you don't know what you are missing...I grew up there going to 6 or 12 hours of racing on magnificent tracks around lakes and mountains...And the cars,... the cars...a shame so many regulations here in the US don't let brands like Renault, Peugeot, Citroen and even Fiat enter this market.

The only track that kind of reminds me of this one is Laguna Seca (Dry Lake) and the Corkscrew is very similar to this.

Also, Monza, Spa and of course "The Ring" are some of the most beautiful tracks ever built around nice scenery...

Awesome track indeed...

Carlos

 

That is one of the most beautiful tracks Ive seen,,,
I would love to be able to do a track event on that...

 

Great find Ross, those pictures are unbelievable

 

Road Atlanta should be in that list, thats a nice track surrounded by forest and mountains. St Pete Fl should be included this list as well. The track is literally 20 feet from the ocean at some parts.

 

i raced on road atlanta in forza. it wasnt that beautiful.

this looks amazing.

 

Wow, just wow. That is amazing.

 

Could you imagine a night race there....that would be absolutely beautiful

 

Never said it was "beautiful" but i did say it was nice! lol!
