    The Circuit of the Americas takes 1,500 acres. The Buddh Interational Circuit is 875 acres. The smallest ones is Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps at 100 acres.

    An average 18-hole golf course is 630 acres.

    So, one takes up more than the other but both are equally bad.

      but both are equally bad.

      Asphalt, petrol, oil, and tires are equally bad to watering grass so old men can drive electric carts around?

        Golf courses are estimated to take up ~0.1% of all US land. Yes, a square mile of F1 track is worse than a square mile of golf course, but we’re talking probably 1000x difference in scale.
