I agree with Snrub's oval racing comments. There is a hell of a lot more than slipstreaming going on in a good oval race. It is just a different world than the twisties... too many fans rule out one type or the other, but when you get down to it, there can be great racing on ovals and road courses.
I think the Mickey-Mouse description of the roval in Indy comes from the driver's perspective. I think from a fan's point of view, the indy circuit is great! I've been there each year for the GP, and there are many great viewing spots on the infield section, particularly in the double hairpin and turns 4-5-6. The course just isn't as challenging as a Suzuka or Spa, and that's why the drivers have labeled it a bit Mickey Mouse, but it does provide for good racing.
