The Pittsburgh International Race Complex is a multi-purpose facility operating from 2002 at a 45-minutes ride north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Motorsports enthusiasts from all over Pennsylvania gather at Pitt Race (the popular nickname of the facility) to enjoy their favorite racing competitions and take laps on their favorite course during open track days (depending on the availability). There are three different layouts for racing: The North Circuit, with 1.6 miles (2.57 kilometers), the South Circuit, with 1.2 miles (1.93 kilometers), and the Full Course, which combines the northern and southern circuits for a total length of 2.86 miles (4.6 kilometers).
The continental climate of Pennsylvania means the skies over the Pittsburgh International Race Complex tend to be cloudy, with some form of precipitation getting the track surface wet 140 days a year on average. Winters are cold, and summers are warm and humid, so checking the weather forecast before racing is an absolute necessity in this circuit. The layout of the Pitt Race track favors high speed, with long stretches of straightaways intermingled with fast sweepers and only a pair of tight angle corners in each circuit. The Full Course has 19 turns, ups and downs in the whole trajectory, and runs in the clockwise direction. The other two configurations also go clockwise and can operate independently from one another.
Lapping around the Full Course at Pittsburgh International Race Complex at high speed it's a challenging experience requiring racers to focus on the track 100% of the time to sort out the constant elevation changes coming their way. The raceway's trajectory consists of uphill climbs followed by steep downhill dives. Most of the turns are not particularly tight, but the technical level to get the most of this track is high due to the restricted visibility.
