Especially in your country where you have so much room and where constructon work costs a fraction of what it costs over here, wouldn't it be easy to build a real track with lanes seperated by grass?

Most oval tracks I have seen are build this way.

Maybe somebody can give me an answer to this, since I am asked this question over very often.

Thx.
