  • The "Type" column refers to the type of circuit. An oval is an oval-shaped racing facility. A road course is a permanent motor racetrack, too, but features both left and right turns. A street circuit is composed of temporarily closed-off public roads or airport runways. A combined road course is a racing facility that features a road course that is linked to the oval track.
