Unless in a stadium, you get one vantage point at any one time. You get to see racers blast by and you don't hardly know who's in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or lapped racers mixed in with the leaders.
Watching racing is really great the first few times, but as a spectator it becomes a "been there, done that" kind of thing.
