    Track Character

    Two and a half miles built around a straightaway that runs close to a mile, so top speed here is not a rumor. Ten turns give the layout breathing room, but that long straight means big braking events and serious heat load into the corners at the end of it. Minnesota sits far north, and early or late season sessions can start genuinely cold. Intermediate in pace, with real speed for anyone brave with the throttle.
