The majority of race tracks are designed to have left turns because most drivers are right-handed, allowing for better control and visibility. Additionally, the clockwise direction is thought to be safer for drivers as it helps prevent accidents due to mechanical failures in the steering system.

Direction that horses race in Australia?

Horses are raced both clockwise and counterclockwise in Australia. The decision to run horses counterclockwise in the US dates to the American Revolution era. In 1780, the first circular US race track was established by William Whitley near his home in Lincoln County, Kentucky. A staunch supporter of the Revolution, Whitley insisted that horses race counterclockwise, as opposed to clockwise as was the custom at the time in England. Some but not all American tracks followed the change immediately. Belmont was run clockwise from its opening until 1921. Today about 30% to 40% of English horse racing is now counterclockwise like all horse racing in the US.

Where should the weight of your car be in the back or front?

You want the weight to be balanced front to back, that's why the Indy Cars have wings on the front and back of the cars to add or take away downforce. On another note the IndyCars also have a weight jacker that adjusts the cross weight on the car from left to right. The weight jacker allows the driver to make fine-tuning adjustments as the car begins to handle differently during the race.
