I don't think it would fit the definition of an oval track. "Ovals" don't have to be banked, and sometimes aren't, and they don't have to be limited in their number of turns, as you could have a giant octagon (eight turns) and it be an oval track. To be an oval it must have all turns in just one direction. Once there is a turn in the other direction, it is no longer an oval track, no matter how basic its layout might be.
