Circuit racing is one of the most widely known forms of motorsports. When the average person thinks of a race car, the image of a high-performance car doing laps around a circuit is the first thing that pops into their minds. As the name implies, circuit racing implies the cars to be going around a looping racetrack, performing laps each time they cross the start-line. The circuit is usually a isolated piece of road, specifically designed to be used by race cars in circuit race events. |

There are a variety of vehicles that perform circuit races, and these races are organized in groups of vehicle classes. The vehicles that take part in these races can range from the typical car to a high-performance variant built for the race track, up to a race bred formula 1 car. A circuit race is also often used as a vehicle's benchmark, and most vehicle manufacturers test their vehicles' performance by test on a circuit, such as the nurburgring, or even their private circuits. |
