Spanish term

Explanada de direcciones

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks Test tracks/test circuits
I'm translating a property sale deed that describes a plot of land that includes a test track (test circuit):
"Circuito de pruebas, que consta de las siguientes partes: pista principal de rodaje. Pista adoquinada. Pista ondulada. Explanada de direcciones. Pista de pendientes...."
My version so far:
"Test track, which consists of the following parts: main track. Paved track. Rolling Track. *Explanada de direcciones*. Slope track...."

Any ideas and/or improvements would be appreciated

skid pad

...or skidpad (no space). Skidpan is a variation.

This is the US term. Steering pad is the UK term. And Porsche uses 'low friction circle'.

'explanada' must be a typo for 'eSplanada',
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : We know that this term exists in English, but you haven't given German references.// English references don't prove anything. And explanada is not a typo as far as I can see.

We are not translating into German. What I gave is what the Porsche USA website calls it.

neutral bigedsenior : if you had left off platform, I would have agreed as UK usage, but reading the ref it appears to be a combination of the approach to the pad plus the pad.
