Why not incorporate both types of racing? If you are the driver of a top fuel dragster, conditions are different as is the driving style and the car. Driving a sprint car on a dirt track is different than driving the same car on a paved oval. Driving that same car on a road course would be different. Fact is, the setup of a sprint car is designed so that left turns are the only ones made. The tires on the right side are wider than those on the left for that very reason. One of the aspects of ESP Raceway was that you could choose from a dozen or so different tracks and there would be different weather conditions. I think that you could use one of several different cars, but am not sure about that for certain. With Nascar as the theme of the game, only 1 car would be used on different tracks, but are all tracks paved? USAC (United States Auto Club) racing is done on both dirt and paved ovals, so the drivers have to contend with both types of racing conditions. That is how I think that Raceway should be. I believe that an anual series of races, IROC, (International Race of Champions) is based on the same idea--12 professional drivers drive identically prepared cars in different length races on different tracks, ranging from road courses to dirt and paved oval tracks ranging from 2.5 miles to half-mile lengths. Each race poses different challenges for the driver, requiring different techniques.
