Too Afraid to Ask

A street circuit is a race track made from normal city streets that are closed off for racing, instead of a special race track built just for racing.

Technical Definition

A street circuit is a motor racing track composed of temporarily closed-off public roads within a city, as opposed to a permanent racing facility. These circuits often have tight corners and limited run-off areas, creating unique challenges.
