Utah Motorsports Campus is the top destination for racing in the Beehive State, in Grantsville, 30 miles west of Salt Lake City. The genesis of this motorsports complex came in 2006 when Larry H. Miller, the owner of the NBA franchise Utah Jazz, brought the South African race track designer Allan Wilson to create a playground for automobile, motorcycle, and karting racers in the state. The results were solid: four multipurpose racing circuits providing high-speed segments combined with technically challenging trajectories for all types of motor vehicles.
The scenery around Utah Motorsports Campus is remarkable, with the snow-capped Wasatch Mountains on the horizon and clear skies most of the year. Each of its four layouts has something to offer: the Outer Circuit is one of the fastest road courses in America. The East & West Circuits are very demanding tracks able to operate simultaneously. The Full Course is the second-longest raceway in America. Many professional racing associations have Utah Motorsports Campus as a staple part of their racing season, including AMA Superbike Championship, NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, American Le-Mans Series, and several other racing events.
Utah Motorsport Campus' Full Circuit is the most extended and technically challenging of the four layouts available for racing in Salt Lake's raceway. There are 23 turns in this 4.47-mile road course, the 2nd longest raceway in the United States after Thunderhill Raceway Park in California. The Full Circuit has all the features every speed racer loves in a racetrack: from a long straightaway to press the gas pedal to its limit, to tight left/right, right/left turn combinations, decent elevation changes throughout the track, etc. Several corners are so long and closed that drivers will hear their tires screeching and feel the G-forces acting at their premium.
