Street circuits are temporary racetracks set up on city streets, often featuring tight corners and elevation changes. These circuits are used for motorsport events, such as Formula 1 and IndyCar races, allowing fans to experience high-speed racing in urban environments. The layout of street circuits typically includes barriers to protect drivers and spectators, as well as unique landmarks that enhance the race's atmosphere. Notable examples include the Monaco Grand Prix and the Long Beach Grand Prix, which showcase the challenges and excitement of racing in a city setting.
