The EuroSpeedway has a feature which is unique in continental Europe: a highspeed oval race track, as used in the USA by NASCAR, the Indy Racing League and CART Champ Car racing.
The stands around the tri-oval have a capacity of 120,000, while the huge main grandstands have 25,000 seats, and unlike many circuits, the entire circuit can be seen from the main grandstand.
All tracks can be connected to form a 11km long endurance racing course, but this option was not yet used for a major event, but as a test track capability.

This was the site of the Top Gear Track Day Challenge as shown in the 2nd episode of the 15th series.
