It’s definitely possible with the right crew. I’ve worked on temp setups — speed is key, but so is flexibility in stadium design. Modern stadiums are more modular, which helps.
The transformation of Accor Stadium for the 2025 Race of Champions was a remarkable feat, showcasing motorsport's adaptability https://stadiumdb.com/news/2025/03/australia_how_accor_stadium_transformed_into_a_race_track Over five days, a 1km asphalt track was constructed atop the stadium's turf, utilizing over 4,500 tonnes of materials and a 43m crossover bridge . While this demonstrates potential for motorsports in unconventional venues, the sustainability of such endeavors remains uncertain. The environmental impact of temporary constructions and resource usage must be weighed against the benefits.
