Oval track sees testing, road course sees fairly frequent events. I
believe the track is banked extremely slightly.

To further specify, this track is really weird. It was built in 1952 and
paved in 1966. It's a 2.897 mile back and forth oval with no (or almost
no) banking on the chutes and some banking in the turns. Because the
track is so wide (59 feet apparently), the banks seem very low, though
from what I've gathered it's fifteen degrees. It's got a two mile road
course that cuts off half the oval, used by most series. The full road
course is a 2.95 mile track that basically consists of the oval with
three chicanes. It's used by Turismo Carretera for competition and also
for testing.

This was the first track outside North America and the only track in
South America ever to host a USAC Champ Car race.

Is this the longest oval (at 2.897 miles) ever built?

@5 Far from it, but it's the largest used for competition today. The
largest ovals I'm aware of are a few 8.5 mile ovals used as proving
grounds.

I'm not sure it's in raceable shape. IIRC Turismo Carretera runs here in
a roval style. Maybe NASCAR and its strict safety rules could handle a
track like this but a full high-speed, low banked oval that's longer
than Talladega is a bit too much for most series.

@9 The corners are banked at 7%, and with .9 mile long straits the
drivers would have to use the brakes (assuming the cars being used are
stock cars) so plates might be needed?
