- Track day – Wikipedia: A track day is an organized event that allows non-members to drive or ride around established motor racing circuits or closed/disused airfields. Participants can use road-legal or track-prepared vehicles without speed restrictions, but actual racing is usually forbidden. The event typically requires a driving license or racing license and the payment of a fee. There are varying formats for the proceedings, usually consisting of groups based on individual experience levels. Track days are also often held in the guise of racing schools, where the emphasis is on training.
- Race track – Wikipedia: Race tracks are primarily designed for road racing competition through speed, featuring defined start-finish lines or posts and sometimes even a series of defined timing points that divide the track into time sectors. A racetrack for cars is a closed circuit instead of a street circuit utilizing temporarily closed public roads. Race tracks can host individual or team sports and can feature rolling starts or fixed starts with associated equipment.

A track day is an organised event in which non-members are allowed to drive or ride around established motor racing circuits, or alternatively (though far less common) on closed or disused airfields. Most race tracks around the world now provide this facility, where a road legal or track prepared car or motorcycle can be used without speed restriction (as if racing, though the practice of actual racing is almost exclusively forbidden at these events) by members of the public. Criteria for being eligible to participate is usually the holding of a driving licence for the vehicle in question or the appropriate racing license for the event can also be used and the payment of a fee.
