I hate street tracks, no place to over take, no runoffs.
Maybe if they did an isle of man type circuit that would be great.

It wont happen anytime soon. Its a health and saftey nightmare, then you have the belief that people will try to copy it in there own cars when its back to a public road.

Bike road racing still exists in England. The three races a year in Scarborough are done on public roads.

I wasn't aware that's there was 'real road' racing for cars?

Allegedly all the Armco for the Birmingham Super Prix is still in storage at my university. Let's get it all out and set it up ourselves

Bad idea imo.

Street racing produces the most boring racing unless its a time trial. Theres no actual "racing" just a parade. things are too close, too many electronics making everything practically the same. Old skool days the cars performances were very different hence adding overtaking. Best time for road tracks is when it rains, then it gets interesting.

We just need more proper racetracks.

Agreed - in relation to F1 type racing but you have to admit getting those clowns in BTCC onto a street circuit would make a great spectacle for the audience.
