Europe does not have oval race tracks. Formulae 1 races are genarally run on closed city streets, some are on road courses, like Watkins Glen 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. -as |

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. |
