Yes. I've been told it's considered a toll road, though I don't know if that's true. There are actually posted speed limits that are applicable during public days, not that you'd get pulled over for going faster. Unfortunately, the end of the 1.3 mile straight is where you start, and about half way down that same straight once you've gone around the track is where you end. You can't do a "flying lap." You have to stop, scan your card (for 26 euro, or about $35) before you can go around again. On street tires, I'd guess I was entering that straight at about 70 mph, and I'd imagine with that much track, I'd damn near top out at 170 ish mph before I had to brake. I guess they're just trying to keep their customers like me alive.
