While Mosport gets my vote for driver intimidation, at least until you get
to know it, Grattan is to me the most technically challenging track I've
ever driven (read that as makes me feel stupid more times per lap!). But
I'd say the most fun is Mid-Ohio, for me and my car! Then again, St Jovite
is the prettiest, and has the best restaurants, and has the Turn one/two
complex, which has definitely gotten my attention a few times.
