The Velopark is a motorsport centre opened in 2008, located in the city of Nova Santa Rita, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It was designed to have various layouts so that it could accommodate a wide variety of vehicles, such as karts, dragsters, and formula and touring cars.
The Velopark consists of a main racecourse, a straight for dragsters, and three kart tracks including an oval, the only oval made for karts in South America.{{cite web |title=Autódromo Internacional do Velopark |url=https://www.velopark.com.br/velopark/complexo/autodromo |access-date=13 August 2023}}
