Assuming for a moment that the people who commission, design and pay for tracks are not all idiots (I know…just run with it…) why ARE they built the way they are? Not a rhetorical question - I don’t know. Some random thoughts:
- because they work for the 99.99% of motorsport that is not F1
- safety
- technical challenge
- demands of TV
- good spectator viewing
- logistics of access
- non-racing activity (track days etc)
I don’t know. But there must be a logic to it because tracks are not being designed and built at random.
