    We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

          Blasphemer! May Donington race park sink into the pit of doom!

          Go and watch "Talladega nights, the legend of ricky-bobby" and be cleansed.

              That track was not built until the 70s.

                  Length != being the most famous.

                          Not equal, but proportionate. The longer-running a race is, the more people are likely to hear of it.

                            Yeah Bathurst is a yearly thing with Holdens vs Fords. Quite a big thing in racing in NZ and Aussie.

                              I'm not really into motor racing (I casually follow F1 but that's it) and I've (vaguely) heard of the Indi 500 but not of that Daytona thingie.

                              I'd say the most famous one worldwide is a pretty close match between Monaco and Le Mans. Indi 500 is probably not too far behind, though it is definitely the least famous of those three. Paris-Dakkar is probably pretty close to the Indi 500. Apart from other F1 GPs that pretty much concludes the list of motor races I know of (unless you count an obscure Dutch one, the TT of Assen).
