Not intended to be a knock of your track or any others shown . . . rather, more of an appreciation and understanding why the Nurburgring is so acclaimed.

Yes the Nurburgring has one of the longest track straights in the world and is most challenging for cars and drivers too. Public days do cut the straight in half but you still get great speeds there and elsewhere (based on watching videos).
My 2 closest tracks are CMP in Kershaw, SC, and VIR in Danville, VA.
CMP is lesser known with decent straights and heavy braking areas, but its fun and easy to learn. Top speed in the M2C was about 120 in 3 places on track but you can still enjoy the M2C abilities in the corners.
VIR is one of the best in the east US for fun and speeds. 145 in the M2C and I saw 157 in an M5. Pros top 160 in street ///M models. It also has a nearly as fast front straight, and the signature uphill S's. C&D uses the Grand Course layout at VIR which adds a tight infield section.
