NCCAR Road Course CCW
NCCAR Road Course CCW Note:
The North Carolina Center for Automotive Research (NCCAR) is a non-profit organization that provides automobile manufacturers, motorsports teams, government agencies, and private institutions a state-of-the-art, 2-mile (3.21-km) road course for testing ground and high-performance training facility. The NCCAR track is the main facility of a 155-acres lot surrounded by a forest in the outskirts of Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. The complex also includes a 2-acre area for vehicle dynamics testing (VDA) and 2-mile off-road course for all-terrain vehicles driver training and competitions. There are significant precipitations in Roanoke rapids throughout the year, with ideal temperatures for racing the NCCAR track during the four seasons, as winters only have 4 inches of snow on average per year.
The NCCAR raceway is compatible with both the clockwise and the counterclockwise orientations, providing a smooth asphalt surface and ample grassed run-off areas at both sides of the track, with no curbs. The 0.5-mile (0.8-km) long straightaway contains the Start/Finish line and is the ideal track segment for getting any vehicle to top speed. There are 11 constant radius turns in the circuit, some of them super tight and others super long. The average velocity is around 75 mph (120 km/h) for both orientations.
Road Course CCW Note:
The Road Course counterclockwise configuration at NCCAR (North Carolina Center for Automotive Research) reverses the directional flow at this technical facility in Garysburg serving automotive testing and motorsport activities. Running the road course counterclockwise transforms corner approaches and braking references across NCCAR's purpose-built testing circuit. This variant serves specific testing protocols or events requiring reversed directional characteristics creating different vehicle dynamics data.
Operating the Road Course CCW showcases NCCAR's role as a comprehensive automotive testing and research facility where circuit configurations support both motorsport competition and manufacturer development programs. The facility serves as a proving ground for automotive technology advancement. North Carolina's climate creates year-round testing potential. The counterclockwise configuration provides directional variety serving NCCAR's dual mission as both motorsport venue and automotive research center, demonstrating the facility's versatility in supporting diverse technical requirements for testing and competition activities.
