Although this is very much off-topic, this information is plain wrong.

Although oval race tracks aren't common or popular in Europe, they have
and are still being used. There's a banked oval at Monza, which uses
the same main straight and pitlane as the more famous road course. It
hasn't been used since the 60's, AFAIK. There are two brand new oval
race tracks at Lausitzring, Germany and Rockingham, UK.

Formula 1 races are generally NOT run on closed city streets - The Grand
Prix of Monaco is the only such event on the current calendar. The other
seventeen are raced on road courses around the world.

Racing cars that can turn in both directions would definitely be more
interesting to drive.


Then they'd need twice the number of wheels making the sport too expensive.
