neutral  LorraineB: both your references are to motorbike racing. It appears the translation refers to motor (i.e. car/Formula 2) racing, where pista is certainly track

  -> scusa ma che c'entra la pista di monza? ma avete capito di che cosa si sta parlando? gare su pista si dice road racing. poi, rather obviously, pista si può chiamare track o circuit. ma qui non si sta parlando di come tradurre pista

Reference: Road race

Reference information:
Road racing is a general term for most forms of motor racing held on paved, purpose-built race tracks (i.e. "road courses"), as opposed to oval tracks and off-road racing. Temporary facilities built on paved airport runways and closed-off public roads (such as street circuits) usually are included in the definition also.

Global road-racing series such as Formula One and MotoGP almost always are conducted on dedicated race tracks, such as Spa-Francorchamps, Suzuka, Monza, and Silverstone. Recent expansion of these series has resulted in dedicated tracks being built in Qatar in the Middle East, Sepang in Malaysia, and Shanghai in China.
