New chance to round one bend in track (7)

I believe the answer is:

chicane

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bend in track' is the definition.
'chicane' can be an answer for 'bend' (I have seen 'Double bend' mean 'chicane' so perhaps 'bend' could also mean 'chicane'). I am not certain of the 'in track' bit.

'new chance to round one' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'chance' is an anagram of 'chcane'.
'chcane' going around 'i' is 'CHICANE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chicane that I've seen before include "Sharp race track bends" , "Car-racing track obstacle" , "Series of bends of motor-racing track" , "Sharp double bend as obstacle" , "Series of sharp narrow bends (in motor racing)" .)
