Did a search but didn't find a previous poll on this topic and I thought it would be a fun topic to discuss.
Things to consider: Quality of the major circuits in said country and also the amount of quality circuits in that country.
Only take into consideration currently functioning circuits.. so no Rouen or Reims for France, etc. and only count tracks in their current form, so the current, not the old Hockenheim.
If I forget any countries, I'm sorry
As for me I'm leaning towards America or England. America simply has a high number of major circuits including circuits that have been relevant for a very, very long time. Laguna Seca, Indianapolis MS, Daytona, Sebring, Watkins Glen, Road America. And England just has a ton of smaller circuits dotted throughout the country that feature some of the most interesting and unconventional elements I've seen in a road course. Oulton, Cadwell, Castle Combe...and it also has the world championship circuits in Donington, Silverstone, and Brands Hatch.
Germany I think would have been a major player if it weren't for the castration of Hockenheim and the general disuse of everything but the 24hrs for the Nordschleife. Oschersleben is bluntly put, boring as hell, entirely flat and with a general lack of any interesting combinations.. but the atmosphere of Norisring is something to account for. Any Germans feel free to tell me I'm wrong
Spain, Italy, and France are also major players IMO... but almost every other nation you have to start bringing into account the amount of circuits it actually has.
