Why wont f1 race it laguna seca or a oval track?

May be...

  • Laguna Seca has safety issues, when an F1 car goes off track, it does so with immense violence and Laguna Seca is not conducive to that.
    A great track though !

    Ovals ?
    F1 cars are designed to be driven on roads with varying direction changes.
  • some years ago they inspected laguna seca to to host a possible usgp... with minor revisions mainly in the run off areas the track could be considered fit for F1 cars...however the rest of the facilities were not up to par...recommendations were made but were never made... so it was not considered again...Meanwhile in indy mr tony was all too willing to accept and make the revisions F1 wanted... but after rseveral years, financially it was not successful ( not helped by that michelin debacle )...

    F1 on ovals ?... i dont see the point of left turn only racing and these cars are not designed for those kind of tracks...
  • F1 vs. Oval track - wouldnt be good racing, the cars are made specifically for cornering... it would be entertaining.

    F1 vs. USGP? I dont think F1 would go to Laguna Seca (due to extreme elevation changes), however Ecclestone to expect a race by 2010, they have "...narrowed it down to 4 or 5 tracks."

    I could see them racing Mid-Ohio or Road America. I really hope they keep F1 off the Pacific Coast.10 2007 evolution mitsubishi
