Complete Newbie’s Guide to Formula 1 Motor Racing Circuits
A typical race course as a rule includes a portion of straight road on which the starting rows are to be found. The pit lane, where the F1 drivers come in for fuel & replace old tyres during the Formula 1 race, & where the F1 teams operate on the vehicles prior to the Formula One race, is customarily to be found in parallel to the starting marks. The outline of the remaining parts of the circuit varies enormously, even though in some specifically occasions the race course is made in a clockwise direction. Those couple of race tracks that run anti-clockwise (C181& consequently have for the most part left-handed corners) may cause Formula One drivers health troubles due to the enormous sideways forces produced by F1 machines dragging their heads in the opposite direction to normal.

Many of the race circuits currently in operation are particularly constructed for racing contests. The present street race tracks are the Circuit de Monaco and Melbourne, although street races in other countries come & go (E.g. Las Vegas and Detroit) and plans for such grand prixs are often considered ? most recently London and Beirut. A number of other tracks are also fully or partially laid out on public roads, for example Spa-Francorchamps. The fascination and status of the Monaco race are the major cause why the track is still in use today, since it’s considered not to pass the set safety conditions compulsory on other race tracks. Three-time Formula One World champion Nelson Piquet notably described racing in Monaco as “like riding a bike around your own living room”.
