Apart from short oval racing of course  |
They each have their pros and cons. Obviously on TV you see the whole track but what you don't get is the atmosphere, as the cars come around after the parade lap, set up on the grid and wait for lights out. Both IndyCar and sports cars have rolling starts but still, when they come round that last time it's pretty exhilarating, particularly Indy as they are at full throttle before they hit Turn 1 and noise is incredible.
