Compaq has an ad running on ESPN, with some overhead (stylized) views of the various F1 tracks. They have this little ball of light (ostensibly representing a car) running around the track. The funny thing is that it is going BACKWARDS (counter-clockwise), when F1 races (unlike the North American series) go clockwise. Just thought that I'd mention that. Oh to stay on topic: would some tracks be faster if you ran them the other way? (or slower...) John DiFool

Um, perhaps it was Imola or Interlagos, both of which are run counter clockwise in F1...
