In USCC only one is Grade 1 (does the "new" modified Indy have Grade 1 yet? if so then two) but that's not ACO territory anymore

edit - apparently Estoril is now 1

So only Le Mans and Inje...
Why is that sad? They are just improving the tracks. Some you shouldn't mess with (Le Mans, Nurburgring Nordschleife, Kyalami, Zolder come to mind), but what's wrong with the improving the facilities?

People complaining about Grade 1 tracks and Tilkedromes... lol, last year in F1 alone all Tilkedromes produced better racing than Monza or Spa.
