I'm amazed that they would pay hundreds of dollars to sit there somewhere along the tracks, just to watch the race-cars zoom pass them, and these would probably last as long as you say this : 'eeeeeonnnng' (something to that effect). I'm not sure if they would be able to even recognise, which car just zoomed pass, especially when a few cars zoom pass about the same time.
Then they'll wait for perhaps another 3-5 mins, for another dose of 'eeeeeeong.... eeong... eong eong eong.. .... eeeeong'. Then wait some more.. and it goes on until the race ends. Or perhaps they'd get the more expensive seats, near the bends. This may give them a chance to see a car or two, going off tracks at the bends, maybe. Then the next day, they'd be able to tell their friends, how they actually saw it with their own eyes when it happened! Of course, their friends, would probably have seen it with their own eyes too, from TV news or the newspaper that morning. Still, the 'waaahs' from friends, would probably justify the ticket price, for some people.
Oh, and most of the seats along the tracks.. have no shelter.

On another note, this month is the month of giving. And that amount of money required to see cars zoom pass, would be very much more appreciated, by those who are in NEED. THAT would be money well spent, being put into a more real cause, then just seeing flashes of car headlights.
So, let's race each other instead, in giving and in doing good, and may we all have a spiritually and mentally fruitful Ramadan. Ameen.
They believe in God and the Last Day, and enjoin the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is wrong, and vie with one another in doing good works: and these are among the righteous.
Al Quran, Ali Imran 3:114
