You mean like how easy it is for people to go around the place? I wouldn't really know cause both here and in Europe we have ATVs and golf carts to move around, and being dressed in team gear and using very obvious work vehicles gives you access to places that the average spectator wouldn't have. I have definitely gone to places I wasn't supposed to go many, many times.
The main difference I think is that in the US you are kinda expected to get in with your car/truck/RV and sorta be on your own, whereas in Europe you are expected to walk everywhere and use the facilities provided to you.
US tracks, with a few exceptions, give a vibe of really just being a loop of tarmac in the middle of nowhere with the bare minimum facilities built around it, but you can kinda go anywhere in a "build your own fun" kinda way, like parking your truck on a hill somewhere, pop out the BBQ, a cooler and some lawn chairs and be the happiest racegoer alive while watching cars go vroom 100 feet from you. I'm sure it's not like this everywhere, my only experience with US Motorsport comes from WEC and IMSA. Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca felt a lot like this, for example.
In most major European venues I've been to, you are a lot more restricted in what you can do as a spectator, but there are a lot more facilities to use (grandstands, toilets, bars, etc) and I think in none of those places you can be anywhere in line of sight of the racetrack with your car or an RV, either you use a grandstand or you are walking.
I'm not really the best person to ask about how it is to watch a race though, cause I've been experiencing it almost exclusively as a worker.
I definitely like the American way better because nowhere in a major event in Europe you get to be this close to the teams and the cars, and I'm sure the spectator experience is a blast.
As a worker though, I wish racetracks had more facilities because goddamn I miss garages so much when I'm here.
