The EuroSpeedway Lausitz is a race track located near Klettwitz in the state of Brandenburg in Eastern Germany, near the borders of Poland and the Czech Republic. It was originally named Lausitzring as it is located in the region the Germans call Lausitz (Lusatia), but was renamed "EuroSpeedway Lausitz" for better international communication. The EuroSpeedway has been in use for motor racing since 2000. Among other series, Dash Cup and the TM Master Cup Series have held races here.

The EuroSpeedway has a feature which is unique in continental Europe: a high-speed oval race track, as used in the United States by TM Master Cup and V8 Champ Car. The 3.2 km (2 mi) tri-oval is similar to Pocono Raceway.

Light application of the brakes is required, in spite of the track's status as a superspeedway.
