Post

This was interesting, out of the 241 circuits (including some Japanese test circuits) I have bookmarked in Google Earth these seem to be the only circuits that are so far included in Google Earth's Streetview feature.

Imola, Italy (partial) 44°20'41.98"N 11°42'52.21"E

If you have Google Earth installed just copy and paste the latitude and Longitude coordinates from above into the search bar and press search. Also, when you get there, just drag the streetview icon and drop it anywhere over the blue line that appears on the track.

I checked circuits from Jutland to Sentul, from Kayalami to Rustavi Ring. Had to lol on the Thunderhill Park streetview, looked like the Google vehicle may have been messing up some hotlaps. Wished the Algarve Circuit had a streetview, and Circuit of the Americas too.

If you post the Google Earth links for the work you've done - that's surely got to be worth a few up-votes? I'd love to see them.

Thanks - I've checked a few out. Now if only some kind soul would record some Google Earth flyovers around each of the current tracks.... that would be awesome to see.
