Just wait until they discover this and Trump makes a bill to have the cars go the other way around.

NASCAR has a street race, with corners: https://www.nascarchicago.com/

It’s actually really cool:

Honestly more fun than the boring Yas Marina F1 championship layout:

Also, many tracks like Daytona have real circuits, and it’s my opinion that nascar should use them.

If they want me to watch they need to add power ups. At least a banana peel would be nice.

Check out formula e. It is electric race cars and they can get bonus power by driving in a particular part of the track. They used to let fans vote to give cars a boost too but i think it’s discontinued.

Does the track have random ramps on it as well to complete the F-Zero experience?

I think nascar already has a virtual banana peel. They also stop the race right before the end, then restart and hope for crashes then.

When they started redesigning the cars to be safer in the late 90s I’m pretty sure they were doing it because 80%+ of the audience at those races were there to see crashes.

That’s why they have DRS now. Purple shell that chassis.

Extreme E has boost, and is probably the most fun racing I’ve seen. Cars flip and keep going, and are lucky to make it to the finish line in one piece, lol.

How do they keep people from crashing into all those right turns?

Just finished watching the 24hrs of Daytona where they use that infield track layout this week. It’s free on YouTube from IMSA!

3 classes of cars fighting for places through traffic for 24hrs. It’s absolutely wild, and the commentators are definitely fighting fatigue with sometimes extremely random sidetracks too.

The traffic is mad!

Infield is a bit narrow, but the bus stop and turn one are insane. The ease all those drivers do it with makes it look way too easy.

Super stoked to think that a Mustang I drive won the Daytona 24hr for LMGTD class

Oh I didn’t realize NASCAR raced there! I’m watching one now, that’s such a fun layout for those cars.

There are 6 road races on the calendar this year. 5 of those have been on there for multiple years. 1 is at an oval/road course. They have been running at road courses for a very long time, just in proportionally small numbers.

He wouldn’t have died had he worn the “damn collar” as he called it. The HANS device likely would’ve saved his life, as I understand it, but he was too “old school” for driver safety. 🙄
