Too Afraid to Ask

A street course is a race track made from normal city streets that are closed for the race. It's harder to drive on because the roads are narrow and have walls close by.

Technical Definition

A street course is a type of racing track that uses temporarily closed-off public roads in a city or town, featuring tight corners and close barriers, making it challenging for drivers.
