Washington DC saw a bustling IndyCar street race this past weekend, with the city’s historic landmarks turned into a temporary racetrack.

The event attracted large crowds – including U.S. President Donald Trump – who were eager to witness the high‑speed racing in a downtown setting.

Despite the anticipation, a number of spectators told reporters that they could not see any cars pass their viewing point, leaving them disappointed with the experience.

The mixed reaction highlights the challenges of hosting a street race in a city center, where visibility and space can limit the full racing spectacle.
