A specially designed oval or circular track where horses, cars, or people run races; a venue for racing events.
Compound of 'race' (from Old Norse 'ras' meaning rush or flow) and 'track' (from Old French 'trac' meaning path). The modern racetrack concept emerged in the 18th century with organized horse racing.
Horse racing racetracks often feature unusual banked turns and specific surfaces designed by engineers—the famous Ascot track in England has stones and sand layers from the 1800s still used to shape how horses run.
