Unlike other purpose-built dirt tracks, Bristol Dirt is a temporary conversion of a concrete short track. Its unique characteristics make it a one-of-a-kind experience in iRacing.
Key Characteristics
- Steep dirt banking: At over 20 degrees, Bristol Dirt has the steepest turns of any dirt oval in iRacing.
- Tight bullring racing: Despite the banking, it remains a short track, leading to constant wheel-to-wheel action.
- Dynamic track surface: The dirt wears quickly and rubber builds up, forcing drivers to move up the track.
- Cushion battles: The outside cushion becomes critical in Sprint Cars and Late Models as the race develops.
- Spectacle: The closed-in stadium design creates an atmosphere like no other dirt oval.
Racing Style
- Sprint Cars: Ultra-fast, cushion-hugging racing with big slide jobs.
- Late Models: Momentum-based driving, with a heavy focus on throttle control.
- NASCAR Trucks & Cup Cars: A unique experience, with heavy cars on dirt at high speeds.
Bristol Dirt stands apart in iRacing as a showcase venue—short, fast, loud, and unpredictable.
