The Chang International Circuit (ช้าง อินเตอร์เนชั่นแนล เซอร์กิต) (also known as Buriram United International Circuit because of alcohol restrictions) is a motorsport race track in Buriram, Thailand. The circuit was opened in 2014. This is the first FIA Grade 1 and FIM Grade A circuit in Thailand. The track's primary corporate sponsor is Chang Beer, named the track as part of the sponsorship.
