Whether it’s a big asphalt oval, a rally course that covers multiple nations, or a sinewy street course between historic beach-front properties, there are a lot of venerated race venues out there.

Road trips are fun, but there’s hardly any adventure in the typical one (unless you count digestive issues caused by roadside diners).
