Morphology
Both constituents contribute their literal meanings: 'racing' (the sport of speed competition) and 'circuit' (a track or course), so the compound denotes a track used for races. This straightforward, compositional noun–noun combination follows common cross-linguistic patterns and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the two words.
Etymology
The noun racing circuit comes from the simple picture of cars racing around a closed circuit or loop many times. So it means 'a specially designed track or course where car races are held'.
