Ancient vehicle raced in a hippodrome (7)

I believe the answer is:

chariot

(Other definitions for chariot that I've seen before include "coach" , "Ancient horse-drawn war vehicle" , "Ben Hur transport?" , "ceremonial carriage" , "A torch I placed on old wheeled two-vehicle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
