The Radius Test Track was built in 2035 by Radius Motors for testing new dueling and racing vehicles. Over the years several famous vehicle designs were perfected at this track. Nearby is the Radius Motors Museum, featuring examples of the company's production vehicles. The public is allowed to visit the track on weekends and during special occasions, like the 2042 Central Racing Regional, which was held at Radius. Since its inception, the track has been a part of the Flashfire Circuit.

Track Notes:
The outer walls are 15 feet high and have 100 DP. Inner and pit walls are 2.5 feet tall and have 30 DP. The infield hospital buildings are 15 feet tall with 40 DP walls. TV/defense towers stand 60 feet high with 40 DP walls. Linked pairs of VMGs are located in turrets on the corners of the towers.
    The track is kept glass smooth, the outer straightaways and turns are slightly banked (-1 to all maneuvers). The inner track ways are no dueling/racing zones that double as pitting/repair areas for teams. Pits and garages are accessed by ramps underneath the infield hospitals and are large enough to accommodate buses and trucks.
    Grandstands are located at the track's outer corners and can hold 10,000 people. Two pace cars (PC) and two Ambunaughts (AB) are on call for all races and test events. These vehicles are upgraded on a regular basis, particularly the pace cars. Each year new pace cars (based on production mid-size, sedan, and luxury-sized vehicles) are brought onto the track. The Blastracer I & II's, racing variants of the famous Blastfighter, have been used as pace cars. Used to enforce track rules and gather up the field during yellow and red flag calls, the Blastracers have proven most useful as pace cars. Given their armament, it takes very little persuasion to get offending racers to follow the rules.
