Tracks

Some people collect stamps. I collect race tracks. To get a new track in my collection I need to drive it. But it doesn’t matter if it’s with a race car or a street car.

I collect only racing circuits, even though I have driven many other tracks like rallycross circuits and gokart tracks also.
