Well Nascar has two road courses in the season and this year the Busch series had Mexico City. It truly is amazing those guys can turn right also. What I like about the big tri-ovals is that you can go watch something else for a while and come back to it. They always show the wrecks many times over.
F1 is great and so is IRL if you like the Danica Patrick type, (easy on the eyes but vicious in the corners)

Watch me bring this back on task....Gas engines are great, especially at 180 MPH but this thread seems to lean toward "alcohol" burning engines, of which I am one.
