Utah Motorsports Campus West Circuit
Utah Motorsports Campus West Circuit Notas:
Utah Motorsports Campus es el destino más importante para las carreras en el Beehive State, en Grantsville, 30 millas al oeste de Salt Lake City. El génesis de este complejo de deportes a motor llegó en 2006 cuando Larry H. Miller, dueño de la franquicia de la NBA Utah Jazz, trajo al diseñador de pistas de carrera sudafricano Alan Wilson a fin de crear un campo de juegos para los corredores de automóviles, motocicletas y kartings del Estado. Los resultados fueron sólidos: cuatro circuitos de carreras multipropósito que brindan segmentos de alta velocidad combinados con trayectorias técnicamente desafiantes para todo tipo de vehículos a motor.
Los paisajes alrededor de Utah Motorsports Campus son destacables, con las montañas Wasatch llenas de nieve en el horizonte y cielos despejados la mayor parte del año. Cada uno de sus cuatro trazados tiene algo para ofrecer: el Outer Circuit es una de las pistas de carreras más rápida de Estados Unidos. los circuitos este y oeste son pistas muy demandantes que pueden operarse en simultáneo. El trayecto completo es la segunda pista de carreras más larga de Estados Unidos. Muchas asociaciones profesionales de carreras tienen al Utah Motorsports Campus como sede regular en sus temporadas de carreras, incluyendo al AMA Superbike Championship, NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, American Le-Mans Series, así como varios otros eventos relacionados.
West Circuit Notas:
The West Circuit at Utah Motorsports Campus (formerly Miller Motorsports Park, now Burt Brothers Motorpark) delivers 2.240 miles (3.605 kilometers) of demanding challenges through sweeping corners that flow from one to another across the Grantsville, Utah facility approximately 30 miles west of Salt Lake City. Operational since 2006, the West Course emphasizes the critical skill of linking corners together to maintain momentum through long, flowing sections that punish drivers who treat each corner as an isolated event rather than part of a connected sequence. This configuration can operate simultaneously with the East Circuit, creating unique track day and racing school flexibility where two separate groups run different layouts on the same property without interference.
What distinguishes the West Circuit from Utah Motorsports Campus's other configurations (East Circuit, 3.08-mile Perimeter Course, and 4.5-mile Full Course) is the specific combination of sweeping corners that reward smooth inputs and patient throttle application over aggressive point-and-shoot driving styles. The West Course's 2.240-mile length creates a middle ground between the technical East Circuit and the extended Full Course endurance challenge, making it ideal for intermediate-to-advanced drivers developing racecraft and consistency. Utah's high desert location at approximately 4,300 feet elevation creates unique atmospheric conditions affecting engine performance and aerodynamic efficiency, while temperature extremes range from summer track surfaces exceeding 55°C to cool spring mornings where grip builds gradually across sessions. The facility's remote Tooele County location provides an uninterrupted motorsport environment without residential noise complaints, allowing extended operating hours that maximize track utilization. The West Circuit's ability to run independently while the East Circuit operates simultaneously makes it essential for the facility's business model, supporting club racing, manufacturer testing, and private track days across Utah's premier road racing destination.
