Housing the race indoors eliminates the potential for bad weather, and offers consistency to the event. Seems like a winner to me.
Yes, it is more related to size and the chance to have open fair racing.
Small tight tracks tend to limit overtaking and when a World Championship is at stake, chances are that desperate passes will be attempted.
That is what pretty much occured at the 2010 WC were the track was asphalt but super small and not a single pass was achieved without contact.
If there is a location that can built a large enough carpet track it might work. My concern is that in order to cover all that space with so much good quality carpet such as CRC's it would be far too expensive.
