I think part of the cause are the long sweeping high speed corners, 
especially the carousel at Road America.  You are in the corner for 
many seconds at the limit of traction.  Sebring is probably the worst 
from a smoothness standpoint, the corner between the back straight 
and the front straight is amazingly bumpy.  Grattan is rough on the 
cars.  IRP had some major bumps, although they smoothed out the left 
/ right combination going into the hairpin.  Some tracks would be FIA 
approved, some not, I suspect.
