The Monaco Grand Prix is this weekend, and it is one of the oldest road courses, having used the public streets and roads of Monte Carlo since 1929. How would you change the roads to improve the racing?

Speed humps. They should have crosswalks on them painted like checkered flags to let pedestrians know they are finished.

Crashes make for good TV, so turn every intersection along the route into a crash prone modern roundabout.
