High class modern motorsport circuit usually designed by racetrack designer Hermann Tilke or his company.

They are often deemed 'unoriginal' or 'dull', due to similar corner combinations and high emphasis on safety and spectator experience.

Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
