This is probably a dumb question, but I am curious about the direction is which races are run on various circuits around the world and whether that has evolved over time.

What I seem to know is that races on most oval tracks are run in a counterclockwise direction; races on most road courses are run in a clockwise direction. Are there any exceptions to this? Do they run counterclockwise on any of the European circuits? Why do you think the races are run in the direction that they are?

Thanks!

Greg
