The CART IndyCar series consists of 15 races. Over a third of these
races are conducted on roadcourses. So, you see, CART Indy cars do turn
both directions.

During the third day of his first test session for McLaren, Michael
Andretti turned a 1:26.6 at Barcelona's Circuit Catalunya, which is
within half a second of Ayrton Senna's qualifying time for last years
Spanish Grand Prix. Note, Michael was driving a '93-spec car, which has
smaller wheels and tires than Ayrton's '92. So, perhaps we will get to
see an F1 circuit record fall to a CART driver this year.
