Two notoriously wet countries situated on an another continent. I'm not saying exclude them, btw, they'd be 'on the top of the list but I'd mulling over their climatic conditions if I was them considering it was their only European sojourn. Their entire European leg could be washed out like that, no problem. Of course Spa falls under the same climatic uncertainty by that measure too but get Monza on a good month, your race is guaranteed.
If I was them I'd wrangle an oval in northern europe alright and then go safe and take a track in an arid European country. |

Why do you have to contradict everything I say with a terse remark? At least explain your reasoning, please.
On another note, Monza would be a great, high speed track akin to Watkins Glen... they'd probably have to take the chicane out, though. Also, Spa would be amazing... NASCAR through Eau Rouge. |

43 Cup cars at Brands Hatch Indy, I mean, Brands Hatch Nascar... could be quite a crashfest.

We need two venues in Europe, right?
So, Lydden Hill and Phoenix Park. |

Just my observation. NASCAR loosened up the rules on SAFER barriers, the two lower divisions don't need them. |

Well, while we're fantasising why not go the whole hog and use THE ORIGINAL oval - Brooklands...
You could probably build a roval using the banking that is left and car parks near the Mercedes complex... |

I'd definitely make the journey down to Englandland to see a Sprint Cup race at Brand Hatch GP. That would be fantastic.

nice drive by Josh Burdon, I think he should've joined the Elite division.

If the boring as heck DTM can put on a great race at Norisring every year, imagine how awesome of a show NASCAR would have there. |

NASCAR Whelen Euro Series is new name this series.
I heard that Finland driver Petri Ylinen had to drive full NASCAR Whelen Euro Series season, but something happened, and he is not involved. |

I'd like to see these guys pile through the Grand Curve and the Parabolica.

Good to see there's more cooperation between NASCAR and the Euro Series.
Hopefully they have a race at Venray in near future. |

I feel like they'd run out of brakes, they'd be doing 152 laps around there(350km, NASCAR's road course distance, even though I think they'd truncate it to 150 laps), the brakes wouldn't even last to lap 100, I'd think.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ran a race at the Eurospeedway, but I can't see them doing a full tour of Europe

Now that we have fuel injection, brakes are the next 'live in the now' item for Nascar to address.

I'd love to see NASCAR at Mallory, although it would be a big money raiser for them, I think we all know how eurocar went there.

I say Imola would be the best bet. About as long as Montreal, plenty of passing opportunities, lots of high speed sections for stock cars to really stretch their legs, and imagine if Sprint Cup went there... I don't know how much I'd pay to see Ambrose, Smoke, and Brad Keselowski go piling into Acque Minerali.
