The '''Caphiravian Grand Prix''' (''Grandis Praemi Caphirias'') is one of the oldest motorsport circuits in continual use. Racing began taking place at the venue in the first quarter of the 20th century on a dirt course twice the length of the current tarmac. While the length has been reduced over the decades, it remains one of the longest tracks in terms of lap length in Grand Prix Racing. Located outside the town of Volis in the province Arveni, the circuit is set against the rolling hills of the province's countryside. Sections of the track and amenities surrounding the track are considered historic and have been preserved as identifiable landmarks. The race is one of the best attended annually, owing both the the size and capacity of the circuit as well as its prestige and popularity.

The length of the track creates inherently difficulty for new drivers attempting to memorize the circuit. While located in a relatively temperate continental climate, the region is prone to rain and/or overcast weather which can alter rapidly on the open plains. Strong winds may also become a factor on sections of the track. Its size and location on the rolling hills outside of Volis also makes for some dramatic elevation changes, in fact the largest in the series at 102.2 m (335.3 ft) between the highest and lowest points. While generally gradual, turns 3-5 (commonly referred to as ''Aqua Rubrum'') are located on a steep rise. Cars climb 22 m (72 ft) in elevation over a track distance of 20 m (66 ft). The greatest challenge in ''Aqua Rubrum'' is in successfully negotiating the three turns uphill while maintaining speeds of over 320 km/h (approx. 200 mph).

The '''Caphirian Grand Prix''' (''Grandis Praemi Caphirias'') is one of the oldest motorsport circuits in continual use. Racing began taking place at the venue in the first quarter of the 20th century on a dirt course twice the length of the existing tarmac.

Located outside the town of Volis in the province Arveni, the circuit is set against the rolling hills of the province's countryside.
