circuit race
Closed-course contest
A circuit race is a competition—typically cycling or motorsport—run on a closed loop that competitors lap multiple times.
The course returns to its starting point, distinguishing it from point-to-point or stage races: The criterium is a fast-paced circuit race through downtown streets.
Circuit racing emphasizes repeated tactical opportunities at the same corners and climbs.
