What is a Racetrack?

Answer 1

A racetrack is a course, usually oval in shape, designed for contests of speed. These contests usually test the speed of horses, dogs, humans, or vehicles, whether motorized or human-powered. Racetracks usually have grandstands for spectators. Racetracks have some of the largest seating capacities of any sports venue and are usually outdoors. Racetracks for motor vehicle races are usually referred to as "speedways". Those designed for bicycle races are usually referred to as "velodromes". Footraces which test the speed of human athletes are usually held outdoors at a stadium or indoors at an arena or a field house. Footraces, bicycle races, and motor vehicle races may also be held on the open road.
