Welcome to Track Tuesday where you are asked to identify a famous race course from just one aerial image. The only other hint you get is that this track is in… the Northern Hemisphere. Good luck!

Came here to say this.

I've never noticed until now that the last hairpin on the extended course narrows and is decreasing radius.
On the National Circuit, the chicane back to the start-finish straight is optional, according to Gordon Sheddon.

The photo is old; the right-left chicane for the National Circuit has since been moved back to create more runoff, and is now a separate piece of road from the GP Circuit's last hairpin.

When I first read this I thought, "What the font is going on?!" Then I realized I was reading 'arial' as 'anal' –not that my mind is in the gutter.
😉
Well, it should be aerial, so I could see how that mistake could be made.
Wait… no still in the gutter.
Me thinks he meant aerial.

That's not Arial, "the font that was created to look nearly like Helvetica, but without the license fees" ™
'a' looks close, but the 'r' is ugly in a different way than the Arial. The 'k' is unusual, but not ugly. What is it?
(Now I'm out of the closet: the intersection of cars and typography, that's what I like)
Apparently it's "Arial Client."
Looking closer I see the C R and such are definitely not Arial. I just googled Arial and grabbed the image.
(I like fonts too)
So what was the answer to last week's track?
I believe it was the Ascari Chicane at Monza.
