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.
Thanks: Sight

Thats what i call a roundabout! http://www.swindonweb.com/life/magi01.jpg Too bad google miss it for few meters.

Amazing course that’s always action packed. Unfortunatly it has claimed lives before, the most notable being Ayrton Senna.

by the way, there’s another Rotary roundabout in Brasil, right here: View Placemark / Google Earth
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:
