A normal Formula One circuit typically includes a stretch of straight tarmac on which the starting marks are positioned. The pit lane, where the Formula One drivers drive in for fuel and replace old tyres during the grand prix race, & where the Formula 1 constructors operate on the Formula 1 cars prior to the Formula One grand prix, is commonly sited in parallel to the starting marks. The blueprint of the other parts of the circuit changes widely, although in countless examples the track is laid in a clockwise way. Those few race circuits that go anticlockwise (C181& as a result have for the most part left-handed bends) might cause F1 drivers neck problems as a result of the vast lateral forces made by F1 machines dragging their body in the reverse direction to normal.

Most of the circuits presently in operation are particularly constructed for racing competition. The modern street race tracks are the Circuit of Monte-Carlo and Melbourne, Australia even though street races in other countries come and go (Las Vegas and Detroit) & plans for such circuits are often discussed ? recently London & Beirut. Numerous other race tracks are also fully or partly laid out on normal roads, such as Spa-Francorchamps. The beauty & reputation of the Monaco Formula One grand prix are the main explanations why the race circuit is still in use at present, since it is considered not to pass the rigid safety conditions forced on other courses. Three-time World champion Nelson Piquet famously portrayed racing in Monaco as “like riding a bicycle around your own living room”.
