Best tracks for passing?

[diverdan]

What are the best tracks that make for multiple changes in place order? A car that gets around corners well is often blocked by slower cars in corners or a quick car on the straights is often blocked by slower traffic. What tracks are best for facilitating passing? Parades are boring for spectators and frustrating for drivers stuck in traffic.

Thank you,

I am a DE guy. This is what I think.

Lime Rock is pretty good. Short straights and some high-energy turns to test your...tires..... A light cornering car can battle with higher hp up to a point.

Watkins Glen is a hp track plain and simple. Big long straights, and some that climb a large distance. Low hp momentum cars just wave the big hp cars by.

is the question based on a particular pair, or groups of cars? In what context is the question being asked? Track days or racing or watching the race?

It's a pretty broad question.

I like to see tracks where light momentum cars can pass safely in the turns and not be held up by the lumbering high hp cars. That would be both as a spectator as well as a driver.

PIR up here in Portland is pretty good. Big front straight that could get 3 across in a pinch. Back straight is a gentle sweeper with lots of room. Only thing is in the rain "lake PIR" encroaches on the back straight and the outside floods pretty easily.
