Here's a track design game we have tried before, but a slight edit that should make it better.
gmap-pedometer is a fantastic site that allows you to trace routes on google maps, which we can use to make race tracks. Somebody needs to set a challenge, such as "Design an F1 street circuit around Chicago", and people post links to designs they've made. Whoever set the challenge can then decide a winner after a period of a few days. That winner can then set the next challenge and award a winner.

Advice on how to use gmap-pedometer.
- Use the "Satellite" view and zoom in a lot. This allows you to properly judge how appropriate the roads are.
- Use a combination of "automatically (for runners)" and "manual" draw styles to follow the roads.
- Try to take stuff like space for a pitlane, a wide start line and runoff areas into account.
- Save route as public and copy/paste the route link into the thread. A description of your track is usually helpful for the judge.
