That would be very cool.
I am no expert at physics, but is seems like the cars should be able to
do it given a properly designed, and probably very expensive track. Not
sure the drivers would approve.
They could build the grandstand in the middle.

That would make wrecks far more interesting when they occurred top-side.
As the cars either dropped below speed or lost enough body panels, down
from the ceiling they would come, raining flaming fuel and debris on the
crowd.
After my one and only trip to the Indy 500, I am not completely against
the idea. (I am glad that I went, BTW, once)
It would make the event quite a bit more interesting to me and I don't
think that I would ever miss a race on television. ;-)
