Rotary International Roundabout
What looks like a roundabout in Sao Paulo, Brazil features the logo (and large type) of Rotary International. There’s another odd looking roundabout to the east.

couldn’t find a roundabout to the west, but there is an odd one just to the Placemark: south east / Google Earth.
And a little more on the east, you can find the biggest toilet seat of the world !!!

Too bad google miss it for few meters.
In some parts of the US, roundabouts are called “rotaries”, which would make this a Rotary rotary.

Amazing course that’s always action packed. Unfortunatly it has claimed lives before, the most notable being Ayrton Senna.
Chris G.: Senna didn’t die in the Sao Paulo track…
by the way, there’s another Rotary roundabout in Brasil, right here:

it’s a small town near Sao Paulo, called Paulinia
Senna died at the San Marino grand prix, which is actually held in Imola, Italy. Despite my best efforts I haven’t been able to find that track on Google maps.
However, today I found the Hungaroring, site of the upcomming Grand Prix of Hungary:

There is an irony here that is lost on anyone who does not locally refer to traffic circles as “rotaries”. (New England does, see this dialect survey for others.)
Here is the [San Marino Grand Prix track][2].
It’s not in San Marino, but in Imola at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari. [More info][1]
