I created a new SVG for Wikimedia Commons and then turned it into an
overlay. I added polygons for both track layouts and a path for the pit
road. I then added placemarks for each turn.
I was then going to do an associated go kart track, but found it too confusing. I have a placemark for it for the time being. Forum thread: Misano: Racing in Italy Download here |
I created a new SVG for Wikipedia Commons and turned it into an
overlay. This set also includes what appears to be a karting track.

I created a brand new SVG for WikiMedia Commons. When I turned it into
an overlay for GE, I noticed that all the existing stuff was off. I
think Google repositioned the imagery. I fixed that.

This track in former East Germany is rather new (1995), but was
inspired by a steet racing circuit from which it borrows some layout
remants. During the Cold War, the East German government got upset when
citizens sang the West German anthem when a West German one the race.
So following 1971, they banned races that were open to those from the
West.
I included an overlay based on a brand new SVG. There are three track layouts, placemarks for each turn, and some placemarks for other items at the facility. Unfortunately, data for the historical layouts - especially the street circuit is scarce. Forum thread: Racing and more at Sashsenring Download here

Wikipedia says that this track was meant for motorcycles, but was later modified somehow for ChampCar. I included an overlay based on a brand new SVG and three track configurations.

I added an overlay made from a brand new image. I created polygons for
each possible track configuration and got the length of each one. I
also adjusted the position of most placemarks.

It is used by motorcycle series and Scuderia Ferrari (testing). I included an overlay.

A Wikimedia Commons user (Mattbuck) gave me some corrections to the SVG
I used for the overlay. That has been updated to match. He also
confirmed that one of the go kart tracks was actually a Rally circuit
and gave me the name of the other circuit. Please give Matt a hand.

There wasn't much here. Just one track with one configuration. I added an overlay and determined the length.

I found I didn't have a copy. So I downloaded one and found it
horrible. It used the wrong route and had just two objects. I started
completely over. The new version has a corrected route and TWO older
configurations. All three have overlays, placemarks for each turn, and
placemarks for each street used where the track turns onto that street.
