The Crazy World of F1 Motorsport Circuits
An established F1 race track generally features a selection of straight road on which the starting rows are placed. The pit lane, where the Formula One drivers come in for refilling & replace old tyres during the grand prix race, & where the Formula One constructors work on the cars prior to the Formula One race, is commonly to be found next to the starting marks. The blueprint of the rest of the race course differs immensely, although in countless cases the track is made in a clockwise direction. Those few race tracks that go anti-clockwise (and so have mainly left-handed turns) may cause Formula 1 drivers health issues as a result of the massive lateral forces generated by F1 vehicles dragging their body in the reverse direction to normal.

A lot of the race tracks presently in use are particularly created for racing contests. The existing street circuits are the Circuit de Monte Carlo & Melbourne, Australia although circuits in other countries come & go (Las Vegas and Detroit) & proposals for such grand prixs are time and again considered ? in recent times London & Beirut. A number of other race tracks are also completely or partially laid out on normal roads, like that of Spa-Francorchamps. The fascination & regard of the Monte Carlo Formula One race are the main cause why the race track is still in use, since it’s thought not to pass the important safety conditions imposed on other race courses. Three-time Formula 1 World champion Nelson Piquet notably portrayed racing in Monaco as “like riding a bicycle around your own living room”.
