Guide to Formula One Motor Racing Circuits
A traditional F1 race circuit generally compromises of a piece of straight tarmac on which the starting lines are positioned. The pit lane, where the F1 drivers enter for refuelling and replace old tyres during the race, and where the Formula One teams work on the F1 cars prior to the Formula 1 race, is normally to be found next to the starting lines. The arrangement of the other parts of the race course differs hugely, even though in some examples the race circuit is built in a clockwise way. Those couple of courses that go anticlockwise (and therefore have on the whole left-handed turns) could cause grand prix drivers neck issues owing to the vast lateral forces produced by Formula One machines dragging their heads in the reverse direction to normal.

A lot of the courses currently in operation are specifically created for racing events. The present street race circuits are the Circuit of Monte Carlo & Melbourne, even though street races in other urban cities come and go (E.g. Las Vegas and Detroit) & suggestions for such circuits are repeatedly considered ? most recently London and Beirut. A few other race tracks are also fully or partly laid out on public roads, for instance Spa-Francorchamps. The allure and regard of the Monaco motor race are the major motivation why the race course is still in use even today, since it’s considered not to meet the important safety conditions forced on other race circuits. Three-time World champion Nelson Piquet notably expressed racing in Monte Carlo as “like riding a bicycle around your own living room”.
