theater for Motorsport

The big question that I want to ask.....is what is the difference between the theater and watching motorsport from the grandstand?

I dont think there is much difference.....
The audience is different yes, but they are still there to watch a spectacle.
To watch trained professionals do something that we the average person can not.
There's no real difference between those  actors in this practiced and rehearsed movement that entertains us.

 

 The audience may differ in economics, social status, clothing or attitudes. however they all have a passion for what they are watching. and due to these similarities.....should the architecture of Pit Lane reflect the defined architecture typology that is theater? 

We could arrange the pit lane to be like that of a stage.....with the audience surrounding it. However, unlike Pit Lane. the stage does not have height and its this height that stops the audience from being able to see all areas. An important part of stage and set design.

Perhaps looking at the Pit Lane as not the center of the stage, but as an important part that is to played within the overall production that is motor racing, we start to see that the Pit Lane can be sunken, like that of an Orchestra Pit.
This could give views out over the track that would have been blocked before by the building. it could provide an individual platform for which the spectacle of Pit Lane can occur.
VIP's could look further a field due to the gained height of their rooms, above the spectators. like that of the wings of an auditorium.

 

 In doing this we can start to redefine the architecture that is Pit Lane.
