flat oval

Stretched circular shape

A flat oval is an ellipse or egg-like shape with minimal curvature—wider and less rounded than a circle, but without sharp edges.

The term describes faces, plates, athletic tracks, or any oblong form that lies in a single plane: The racetrack was a flat oval about a quarter mile around.
