Indy Track Almost Too Dangerous. Obsolete W/Newer Formula 1 Cars.

16. Formula 1 cars need to turn right...

Indy is a flattened oval, which is to say there are short straightaways at each end of the oval. There are four turns, and all of the turns are to the left. The entire race is very high speed, with speeds approaching 250mph on the longer straights, and even the turns are close to 200 or more.

Formula 1 is more of a road race, with multiple turns in both directions. They used to be run on public roads and streets, not sure how much of that still happens. I assume Monaco still does. There was an old British track that was run on a retired airport, I think that was the only real 'flat' race. Most of them involve hills, too. Speeds vary quite a bit, with some hairpin turns on some tracks where the cars slow down to 60mph or less, while the longer straights approach Indy speeds.
