@Funeral4aFan around here we have a few races, but in the Welsh countryside you can quite a few Km without seeing a large city/town. Look up the Funeral For A Friend videos of Bullet Theory, You Want Romance? and Juneau Acoustic and that's basically what about 125-225km of the countryside around here looks like stretching from the north and places like Dolgellau, Blaenau Ffestinog down to near enough the famous valleys of Wales (just north of Cardiff and Newport)
@WarlockAshlii Yeah, that's what I was referring to. It's just like we have "Mosport" here, and it's like 100 k.m.s away from civilization, basically. Toronto, is built up really urban (think London, without the Thames) and so, this track had to be FAR away. So, it's like 20 kms from larger cities...
@Funeral4aFan Sounds pretty awesome...It wouldn;t be inside Birmingham though, it's too urbanised and got too many council houses around in the suburbs...It's probably a few miles out in Cannock or the Black Country.
@Funeral4aFan I live in the Welsh country-side, it's very picturesque. But also very set in it's ways. It pretty much has looked the same since electricity was invented in the nearest town to me; Tregaron. And out on my farm it's basically 1760s with electricity and internet. Not too sure what the Knockhill circuit is though...Knockhill sounds like a district in Birmingham.
@WarlockAshlii I completely agree. Between that, Knockhill circuit, Stonehenge, and the cliffs of Dover, those are the only things I want to see in the UK. LOL! And, Welsh country-side. You'll never get the Canadian out of me.
@Funeral4aFan yeah, more or less. I grew up in Aberystwyth, west Wales which is just a tourist trap but rubbish for bands and stuff. My dad was born near Stonehenge, I think...I'm not good with geography of England. The best place to see a FFaF concert would be their homecity of Bridgend, or Newport. That's where the band started touring. I remember seeing them on TV for the first time when Between Order and Model came out and they did the music video for 10:45 Amsterdam Conversations...
@WarlockAshlii So, you're Welsh? I would love to visit Wales. Just see the sights, hop east to England, see the Stonehenge, see a FFaF concert. You know, normal stuff. I love Europe's general culture. I always bicker with every American I ever meet, really, about something or something else. Europeans don't bug me as much. And, again, I'm stuck in Canada for now, so I have to put up with my Canadian friends. :D
@Funeral4aFan It'd sure make getting a bigger fanbase easier...I don't think America's too bad, they got more people and there's a lot of decent bands there like Glassjaw and Deftones. It's a lot harder to start bands in Wales, but we've got our fair share of amazing bands and musicians, so I guess I can't complain other than we take our time with trends
@WarlockAshlii Or, the country I live in, for that matter. Why does Canada have to be above the stupidest (no offense, but America's terrible in my opinion) country I can think of? I just wish that it was easier to hop across the Atlantic Ocean...

@WarlockAshlii Well, it's a racing circuit (for cars) with a jump... I am into racing too.
I'm pretty sure it IS inside Birmingham. I know it's not on google maps. I looked for every race-track in the UK. I found three...
