Racetracks all over the world. Hi there guys and girls, its Morgan here again and today I shall talk about racetracks all over the world. I shall start with tracks in my home country, Ireland. Kirkistown Circuit is the main racetrack in Ireland and is the only licensed racetrack that allows for fast parts and hard corners. It can be difficult in the wet but on nice dry days the course is smooth and not too challenging. Next stop Great Britain! And for this stop we are at the famous Silverstone raceway which held this year’s British grand prix. This was won by Nico Rosberg, a German boy who was raised in Monaco and is a Mercedes driver. Silverstone is one of the hardest F1 tracks in the world and the word Silverstone is even in the Oxford dictionary. In 1948 Silverstone was set up by the RAC with the idea of creating a world class F1 track. Off to France! Welcome to Le Mans and welcome to one of the oldest races in the history of motor racing. Le Mans is home to a very famous racetrack. Le Mans is a 24 hour race that has been happening since 1923. Teams have to balance speed and fuel efficiency. All of the cars are specialised race cars and are all very expensive. The Audi LeMans edition cost £75,000. Le Mans is a extremely challenging course, not only the driving, exhaustion kicks in and that will lead to mistakes. Thanks for reading my blog on racetracks!
