I don't dispute it would be difficult; however, there may be scope for an oval to be built within the land owned by an existing circuit, which may alleviate some of the envisaged problems. For example, if the proposed Silverstone oval were to have happened it would have been constructed on the site of the old rallysprint course (which is now occupied by Porsche). Obviously, this option is no longer feasible but there may be scope at other places.
