Noun

1. A type of {{l|en|racetrack}}, where the circuit is not {{l|en|bank|banked}} to allow for track in cornering, thus missing positive {{l|en|camber}} needed to transform centrifugal force into normal force and traction. The shape footprint of the oval itself is unrelated to being "flat", as it only deals with the banking of the track and not the shape traced out by the track.
