This multi-purpose racing facility was built in 1998 and, Twin Ring
Motegi-style, features two separate tracks with very little overlap.
There an 11-turn road course and a 1.5-mile tri-oval superspeedway
designed to be a clone of the USA's Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The road
course is not a roval, the tracks do not overlap minus a brief crossing
on the backstrech of the oval. The finish line for the road course is
within the infield of the oval.

The road course hosted the South African round of the MotoGP
championship from 1999 to 2004. The oval hosted the 2010 Free State 500,
the first superspeedway race anywhere in Africa.

Despite the name it is a permanent circuit, there are no local roads
worked into the track.

There is some other overlap between the courses, the pit road of the
oval forms a backstretch for the road course.

The track was built on the same plot of land as the old Goldfields
Raceway. Whilst some of the old track remains to the north & south of
the oval, none of its layout was incorporated into Phakisa Freeway.
