Just finished watching the 24hrs of Daytona where they use that infield track layout this week. It’s free on YouTube from IMSA!
3 classes of cars fighting for places through traffic for 24hrs. It’s absolutely wild, and the commentators are definitely fighting fatigue with sometimes extremely random sidetracks too.
There are 6 road races on the calendar this year. 5 of those have been on there for multiple years. 1 is at an oval/road course. They have been running at road courses for a very long time, just in proportionally small numbers.
NASCAR has a street race, with corners: https://www.nascarchicago.com/
It’s actually really cool:
Honestly more fun than the boring Yas Marina F1 championship layout:
Also, many tracks like Daytona have real circuits, and it’s my opinion that nascar should use them.
How do they keep people from crashing into all those right turns?

The traffic is mad!
Infield is a bit narrow, but the bus stop and turn one are insane. The ease all those drivers do it with makes it look way too easy.
Super stoked to think that a Mustang I drive won the Daytona 24hr for LMGTD class
Don’t forget Watkins Glen:
Oh I didn’t realize NASCAR raced there! I’m watching one now, that’s such a fun layout for those cars.
