Dummies Guide to Formula 1 Circuits
July 2nd, 2008A common Formula 1 circuit by & large includes a selection of straight tarmac on which the starting marks are located. The pit lane, where the Formula One drivers enter for refuelling & tyres during the race, and where the Formula One constructors work on the Formula 1 cars before the Formula 1 motor race, is typically to be found next to the starting lines. The design of the remaining parts of the track changes enormously, even though in many occasions the race track is built in a clockwise direction. Those couple of race courses that run anticlockwise (and thus have primary left-handed bends) might cause F1 drivers health pains as a result of the enormous sideways forces generated by F1 machines dragging their body in the reverse direction to normal.

Several of the race tracks currently in use are uniquely constructed for competition. The current street race circuits are the Circuit of Monaco and Melbourne, Australia even though street circuits in other countries come and go (E.g. Las Vegas & Detroit) & plans for such grand prixs are repeatedly considered ? in recent times London and Beirut. A number of other tracks are also totally or partly laid out on normal public roads, for instance Spa-Francorchamps. The glamour and prestige of the Monte Carlo motor race are the key explanations why the course is still in use even today, since it is considered not to meet the rigorous safety conditions compulsory on other tracks. Three-time Formula 1 World champion Nelson Piquet notably explained driving in Monte Carlo as “like riding a bike around your own living room”.
