It’s impossible to ignore the fact that the planet is dying. Climate change is real. Whether you believe it’s man made or not, you have to accept there’s certain things that just don’t need to be done, one of those things is petrol based motorsport. How is it that we keep allowing these polluting races to take place, especially when we have carbon neutral alternatives available. I don’t understand why Formula 1 is still a thing when we have Formula E.
I quite like the idea of street races, like what they do for marathons and what they do in Monaco. It kinda forces the city to keep the roads in tip-top condition.
Street races, especially Monaco, are generally hated as they are not typically wide enough to allow for much overtaking. Monaco specifically is one of if not the worst circuit of season. As far as street maintenance, the impact is negligible and is likely unnoticeable within a few months with repairs not taking place until a short time before the next year’s race
In my head whenever I think of street races, I always think of the potential of Westminster Bridge.
