Abstract

Racetracks were created from the need for a suitable place to practice motor sports. It didn't take long after the invention of the automobile for people to discover the adrenaline and euphoria of competition. In the early days of automotive culture in Brazil, owners of vehicles, for many years, bet on races in the middle of public streets, but the risk was imminent, the races attracted large audiences and many accidents happened. To solve this problem, some businessman decided to build the first race track in the country, and from then and beyond, Brazilian motor racing culture grew up in a fast way. However, even today, the northeast region of Brazil still don’t have good places for the practice of motor racing and motor sports in general, forcing sport lovers to travel long distances to have the pleasure of visiting a racetrack, whether for practice, or even to watch a competition. The purpose of this academic completion thesis consists in the preparation of a preliminary project for a race track complex in Rio Grande do Norte. Equipment like this is capable of hosting different types of events, and is a versatile and extremely useful place for the population around. The references for the development of this thesis was based on the scope of sports architecture, seeking information through exploratory research and technical visits, aiming acquiring all the necessary foundation to offer a final product adequate to the realities of the place where it is proposed to be installed.
