Each of these races occurs on a track or a street race track. Most tracks include at least 4 soft turns, straightaways, and usually 1 sharp turn. Racers also have different levels of tire hardness depending on the track. Changing these in the pit can affect their lap times, car mechanics, and place in the race. All of the races listed above can be watched on ESPN2 or F1TV.
