Home of the Formula One Grand Prix, this is a very young track. They hold track days where you can drive the track yourself – however, you’ll have to prove that you’re skilled enough to do so. Make sure to get some practice in before tackling this one. It’s worth it though, because you’ll be driving on the same track as some of the best.

While this isn’t a track used for major sporting events, this is an interesting experience. To drive on this track will cost you a fair bit of money, and to get good access you’ll need a membership. This private track is perfect for any driving enthusiast and has a hotel, spa, golf course and shooting range if you want something to do after a few laps.
