Located on the east end of Tours, France, the Tours Speedway is a 0.357
mile oval built out of the parking lot at the Parc Des Expositions. It
was first used in 2012 as NASCAR Euro's first oval race. It was the
series' only oval until 2015, when a half-mile American-style short
track in the Netherlands known as Venray joined the schedule. The track
was not used in 2017, but will return this year. Venray was dropped for
this season, so Tours will again be the only oval.

Despite being a temporary parking lot oval, the track is banked to nine
degrees in the corners, as the track itself runs along a set of berms.
It also has a drainage system, allowing for rain racing, which is
exactly what happened in 2014 when Elite 1 ran their second race of the
weekend in a light downpour.

The track's only used one weekend a year, hosting NASCAR Euro races
alongside French drifting and other car-related spectacles.
