NOLA Motorsports Park is bringing one of the longest road courses in America to the New Orleans metro area. Measuring 5 miles in its longest configuration, the track is scheduled to open next fall.
Three courses are planned for the facility, measuring 2.4, 1.3 and 1.3 miles in length respectively. Several different configurations will be possible, while all together they combine to create a 5-mile mega track.
The track's designer, Alan Wilson, is also responsible for GingerMan Raceway in Michigan, Carolina Motor Sports Park, Barber Motorsports Park, Mid-America Motorplex, Arizona Motorsports Park, Motorsports Park Hastings, BeaveRun Motorsports Park, Autobahn Country Club, Calobogie Motorsports Park in Canada and Miler Motorsports Park near Salt Lake City. As you can see from the map above, NOLA Motorsports looks like a challenging track with many different kinds of corners.
NOLA Motorsports will be a club-type facility with activities including club driving, track days, high performance driving schools, club racing, and Kart activities planned. Transportation Revolution is also involved, planning motorcycle track days and other two-wheeled events. [NOLA Motorsports Park]
