%N Denominator of the square of the radius of the largest circle, centered at the origin, around which a Racetrack car (using von Neumann neighborhood) can run a full lap in n steps.

%C The car starts and finishes on the positive x-axis, as in A351042.

%C The square of the radius of the largest circle is a rational number, because the squared distance from the origin to a line segment between two points with integer coordinates is always rational.
