Utah Motorsports Campus West Circuit
Utah Motorsports Campus West Circuit Notes:
Le Utah Motorsports Campus est la destination de choix pour la course dans l'État de Beehive, à Grantsville, à 30 miles à l'ouest de Salt Lake City. L'origine de ce complexe de sports motorisés remonte à 2006, lorsque Larry H. Miller, propriétaire de la franchise NBA Utah Jazz, a fait appel au concepteur de pistes de course sud-africain Allan Wilson pour créer un terrain de jeu pour les coureurs d'automobiles, de motos et de karting de l'État. Les résultats étaient solides: quatre circuits de course polyvalents offrant des segments à grande vitesse combinés à des trajectoires techniquement difficiles pour tous les types de véhicules motorisés.
Le paysage autour du Utah Motorsports Campus est remarquable, avec les montagnes enneigées des Wasatch à l'horizon et des ciels dégagés une grande partie de l'année. Chacun de ses quatre circuits a quelque chose à offrir : le Circuit Extérieur est l'un des circuits routiers les plus rapides d'Amérique. Les Circuits Est et Ouest sont des pistes très exigeantes capables de fonctionner simultanément. Le Circuit Complet est le deuxième plus long circuit de course en Amérique. De nombreuses associations de course professionnelle ont le Utah Motorsports Campus comme élément essentiel de leur saison de course, notamment le Championnat AMA Superbike, la NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, l'American Le-Mans Series et plusieurs autres événements de course.
West Circuit Notes:
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.
