L'anneau de vitesse (French for 'speed oval') is a sports venue located in Albertville, France.
The stands, which remain present, were constructed as an airfoil from aerospace designs.
Before this the surface was covered with 1.20 m (3 ft 11 in) of base sand in order to lay down the piping.
The track serves nowadays as a multipurpose stadium used for athletics and football events.
