Look carefully, and you can spot the one right turn (slight bend, anyway) on this whole map!
We're not going to stand here and talk about how exciting other forms of racing are. We're just here to make fun of NASCAR, and the thousands and thousands of hours of unidirectional spinning it describes as racing every year. There are big upsides to NASCAR: 100,000 people in a stadium being drunk and weird, the fact that they look like chariot races from ancient Rome, and fire. There's just also the fundamental "this could have been a little more interesting" problem. Just for reference, here is a grand prix course in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia:
This is not a video game, but it should (and definitely will) be.

Did you not include Watkin's Glenn and Infenion because you didn't know they raced there or because it would undermine your contrived point?
I'm not a big fan of NASCAR, but the truth is they manage the closest racing in the world. Any NASCAR race can almost guarantee you a tight finish with up to five drivers in contention.
I hate having to come to the defense of NASCAR because people can't take half a second to think about it and just repeat the same tired 'all lefts' joke that's older than the internet. -

That looks like the metropolis course in sonic wave riders...
