flat oval en · NOUN
Meanings
- A type of racetrack, where the circuit is not banked to allow for track in cornering, thus missing positive 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.
