I apologize. I got a little excited when I saw your thread title. I'm trying to put together a concept for a custom, digital (monthly) racing calendar that would feature gifs. So every month (or even every week, if I get the idea to work) would feature a different action/motion racing image. If anyone has experience creating and working with gifs, please PM me.
Sorry to interrupt. Carry on!

I like this, with a couple of changes. I'm not sold on Sao Paulo street race. What is Fundidora Park? And replace the streets of San Jose with Kentucy.

Fundidora Park is a circuit which lies in Monterrey, Mexico. CART/ChampCar drove there from 2001 until 2006. Also A1GP drove there a couple of times.

They did! Think the track (or at least part of it) has been destroyed now.

With no races at all in the rest of May, June, July or August... the prime travel season for most folks who go to out of town races? MidOhio in November???? It is freaking cold here in the winter!
Left field indeed!

He only destroyed 2 tyres. I dont think the other 2 softs are too bad after being driven for 17km total
