Hi Richard,
Not just test tracks. Your post instantly brought to mind the training track at
the Police school outside Merida. I'm sure other Police training establishments
must also have tracks designed for training of advanced driving skills.

My reaction is that this is a rare case where I think the original tag still
does the bulk of the work. Rather than split into multiple values (raceway,
test_track, training_track), I suggest the way to go is to subtag with
raceway=*. Raceway is already used a) for some of these other types of track;
and b) also applies to motocross and other disciplines. I presume the
preponderance of these specialised motor tracks are used for racing of one form
or another; and that test tracks are only a small proportion. (I also suspect
that driving at speed is often a part of testing and training).
Cheers,
Jerry

Subject: [Tagging] test track tagging (vs highway=raceway)
i don't have a particular proposal in mind for this, just looking for input.
there are various tracks in the world that are not used for racing, but
for testing only. major auto manufacturers have their own tracks, and
independent organizations do too (for example, the US publication
Consumer Reports has converted an old drag racing complex in CT into
their own private test facility. likewise i believe there is a small private
test facility on the grounds of the old Brooklands oval in the UK.)
what kind of tagging do folks think is appropriate for these?
