πŸ“‹ TRACK DETAILS:

Watkins Glen International is located at the southern tip of Lake Seneca in Watkins Glen, NY.  It is known as one of the premier permanent road courses in North America.  This first-class facility hosted the US Grand Prix for many years and now is one of the two road courses that NASCAR Spring Cup races on.  This is the same track that drivers such as Jeff Gordon and Jackie Steward have driven on!

  • Long Course: 3.4m, 11 turn road course.  Known for its elevation changes, long straights, and challenging corners.  It is a wide track that features sweeping turns, several dramatic up-and-downhill sections, offering a mix of high-speed straights and tighter, flowing technical sections.
