auto racing
A venue designated for competitive racing of motorized cars, usually on one or more large tracks.
An automobile racing venue is a place designated for competitive racing of motorized cars, usually around one or more very large tracks.
The designated activity is competition between racing cars. One or more large tracks are usual without establishing a required track count.
Kart racing and motorcycle racing have their own vehicle-specific meanings. A road used for ordinary transportation is not a racing venue solely because cars travel on it.
