I like to watch cars race on the streets, but I can see what hes saying here.

Interesting, oddly enough in the good old days most racing was of a "street" variety. The only true one left now is Monaco. Yes it is exciting to watch but I personally often wonder about the safety aspect.
If you want to watch terrifying racing on a road circuit the Isle Of Manx TT motorbike races are where it is at. And yup normally at least 3 people are killed racing each year on average.....

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Moto racers have a deathwish.

Now that I think about it, the song I am listening to right now would fit their lifestyle-"Miserlou"(Pulp Fiction theme).

Street Cirquits?

Look for the world rally championship. Ok, its not a cirquit but you can stay on the road and grab the cars.

There are also several hillclimbs in Europe. Nearly each county has the own championship and there is also an European Championship.

Or father away (for me) is the pikes peak race (or somewhat like this). The longest hillrace on the world.

And finally the biggest spectacle is the race of champions, now in Paris. Its a cirquit but not on the street but in an event-hall (Percy). This is real a "must been there once in each live".

Check this out and then you will forgot that Monaco ever existed (or Detroit or Pau or Nürburg or or or)

Fasten your seatbelt, but well...
