Kansas Speedway in iRacing focuses on its oval, though the real-world facility also supports road course layouts. The oval, however, is the star of the show and one of the best examples of intermediate racing done right.
Key Characteristics
- Progressive Banking: The corners are built to encourage multi-groove racing. Drivers can run bottom, middle, or top depending on tire wear and car balance.
- Momentum Track: Speed builds over long runs. Running consistent laps without overdriving corners is vital.
- Clean Air vs. Dirty Air: Cars in clean air can maintain pace, while those in traffic must adjust lines to find grip.
- Versatility: Works across stock cars, IndyCars, and endurance-style events. Its wide surface allows room for multiple types of racing.
Kansas’s unique mix of speed and strategy makes it one of the most popular intermediate tracks in iRacing.
