About Road America
Road America is one of the most iconic and challenging permanent road racing circuits in North America, located near Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, USA. Opened in 1955, the circuit is carved through natural forest terrain and is revered for its sheer length, extreme speed and minimal artificial modification of the landscape. The full 4.048-mile (6.514 km) layout features 14 corners connected by four long straights and six heavy braking zones, making Road America one of the fastest road courses in the world. Legendary sections include Turn 1, The Carousel, Kink, Canada Corner and Thunder Valley. The circuit places enormous stress on brakes, engines and driver stamina due to sustained high average speeds. Road America hosts the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, IndyCar Series, MotoAmerica Superbike Championship, SRO GT racing, historic motorsport and major international manufacturer testing. It also operates a very active calendar of public car and motorcycle track days, club racing and professional driving schools. With its vast spectator areas, natural elevation and extreme speed, Road America is one of the most spectacular circuits in the United States for both driving and motorsport photography.
