Dunno, CART always looks like amateur hour to me after watching F1. I can't
believe how dodgy some of those CART tracks look. Some of them make Monaco
look good.
Hehehe... talk about different taste. F1 tracks look over-sanitized to me.
;-)
Racing is supposed to be a bit dirty, a bit ragged Damien...

A certain bumpy old concrete airport comes to mind. In general, the street
circuits look like they were set up by 'racetracks-are-us'
Still better than F1's "Chicanes-are-everywhere"

Interesting. Would be cool if they ran a few races with CART as a
support series. Would be cooler if F1 raced the modern Long Beach
circuit too. =)

Funny, I think that bumpy old airport is one of the most brilliant racetracks
of the past twenty years.

Even my wife, who HATES racing, remembers the Cleveland race with
Jacques and Robbie Gordon driving themselves off the pavement, and Robbie
cussing on the Radio because Mikey Andrettie Cut his tires with a front wing
endplate not ONCE but TWICE!! Ah yes...cleveland is a fine racing
enviroment.
But clearly it is not the best the US has to offer. I dare anyone to find
a more complete track than Mid Ohio. With it's blind corners, elevation
changes, fast and slow sections...it is magic(and I'm not talking about the
the sim-ports of ICR2)
Road Atlanta, Road America two fine high speed circuits...Laguna
is...well home of the Corkscrew, a turn that rivals Eau Rouge in
complexity(but certainly not in speed)
I'm not thrilled with most street courses...although for 20 or 30 years
the course at Long Beach has shown you CAN have racing inside a City. But I
would take simple Portland over those Chicaned-Nuetered tracks anyday. If
you got rid of that Bastard wiggle at the end of Suzuka, they'd have a truly
admirable circut. Monza? (it's a ghost of it's former self) and San
Marino? With the Senna safety mods, that track is about as exciting as ....
as ....
Spa? A truly Classic circuit...magnificent UNTIL you reach the end of the
lap...what an absolutely awful way to slow the cars down before the
grandstands.
Modern F1 tracks can be summarized by the newer Nurburging. I watched
a DTM race there from last season(on the tv, I didn't attend) and the cars
didn't wiggle, didn't bounce, had barely ANY attitude change while
negotiating a wide smooth grippy track. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz MAN! Give me
one of those tiny tiny bumpy Scottish tracks with BTCC touring cars banging
away at each other for lap after lap..
