Street circuits make good racing if they are done properly. Melbourne and Montreal are very similar to each other, and they both create exciting action.
Don't get me wrong the night race will be very interesting, and that alone might compensate for a lack of legitimate passing with drivers making mistakes and going off.
I know you're from Laguna Seca but which tracks in North or South America do you like the best excluding Laguna?
I couldnt agree with you more on if street courses are done properly. I attended the San Jose GP last year for the Champ Car race, and that had to have been
the worst track I've ever been too. The marshals were dickheads there and they wouldnt let me along with 5 other people sit on a ledge that wasnt even in a dangerous position. And the reason we did that was because there were stupid signs all along the fences so that you couldnt see crap. And the track layout was absolutely horrible too.
I attended the Long Beach GP about 3 weeks ago, and it was fantastic. There was a lot of stuff to look at, and it had great viewing postions. The only thing I dont like about street courses is where the paddocks are located. They always seem to be crammed into a little space. I posted pictures that I took there in another thread in the
Other Motorsport section. But all in all I had a good time there.
I've been to infineon raceway (I call it Sears Point, because thats its original name) but I went there to see a Drag race. I havent seen a race on the road course, but it sure has quite a bit of elavation changes. I will probably go to the IRL race there this year now that Champ Car and the IRL are unified. I used to be a
huge CART fan. I loved it sooo much more than F1, but then of course it died out and now F1 is my favorite motorsport.
I beleive thats all the race tracks I've been too. Frankly, I would like to see a street race in Las Vegas on The Strip.
