Ah, that's real F1 racing for professional drivers. I'm talking about kart racing, which requires a much lower level of skill. Still, it's a lot of fun for those of us without the skills to drive a real F1 racecar.
I have driven a cart, it was fun, but it was underpowered (for safety reasons obv.), I'd love to try one without the throttle limiter that was on the one I tried.

I remember back in the eighties there used to be a track here called Malibu Gran Prix. It was an outdoor track about a mile long and the cars were far from being go karts. More like miniature Indy cars. Not sure what the top speed was, but it felt like about 200mph LOL. The track workers had a remote device to shut down the cars if they got too close to each other so there was no side by side racing. You were mainly racing the clock. My biggest memory of that place was the cost, $1.35 per lap. I sure wasted a lot of money back then but had a lot of fun wasting it.

Here's a pic of kinda what the cars looked like.
I've done Grand Prix racing too, in Myrtle Beach, SC. You race by yourself against the clock. The track I was at didn't allow you to go that fast. It was more about maintaining maximum speed around hairpin turns.

I know the track in MB. My wife has family there so we go visit 2-3 times/year.
The place you're talking about is Gran Prix in name only. There used to be 2 tracks, one by the airport and one in North MB. The airport location is closed now.
Google Malibu Gran Prix and check out some of the tracks that still remain around the country.
