The only two I know are Daytona from “The Road To Hell by Chris Rea and Speedway at Nazareth from “Sailing To Philadelphia by Mark Knopfler”, first one about Nascar and the second about Indy car, does anyone know any others.
I think there was also a song that mentioned Ayrton Senna.?
Were there any songs written about the tragic weekend at Imola in 1994 when Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna got killed?

The Distance by Cake is the first one that springs to mind.

I think Teenage Fanclub had an album with a photo of a Formula ?? racing car on the cover. I don't know if that had any songs about motorsport though.

Faster, from George Harrison's eponymous 1979 album, is dedicated to "the entire Formula One circus". Unfortunately it's not very good.

JohnDuncan:What's this for LA? Does it have to be F1 or just cars in general?

Formula 1, Nascar, Indy Car , Le Mans series, WSTC, BTCC, Formula 3, GP2, Formula Ford 1600, Formula 3000, Formula Renault etc etc.
Le Mans, Daytona, Monaco, Silverstone, Bathurst, Imola, Monza, Macau, Nurburgring,Indianapolis, Goodwood etc etc or about or mention of any of the drivers etc etc.
But all to do with racing and not rallying if possible.
