Introduction

[edit source]

This template affects all motorsport venues/circuit/tracks around the world, so major changes to this template should be discussed at WP:MOTOR. This template was created to work for pretty much all types of venue including road courses, ovals, rovals, drag strips, and dirt tracks.

Only the Name and Location fields are required. All other fields are optional and can be omitted as appropriate.

Note that distance should be given in both Kilometres and Miles in order to display correctly. By default, Kilometres will display first followed by Miles in brackets. In order to swap the two add the line

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> | miles_first = true </syntaxhighlight>

anywhere in the infobox code.

  • fn
  • label
  • locality
  • nickname
  • note
  • org

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.

Cars in lap records

[edit source]

Following a discussion on the talkpage, use of the "record_team" parameter has been replaced with "record_car" (and "record_team2" replaced with "record_car2"...). Existing articles which have not been updated will still work, but new infoboxes should use the new format.
