The Mount Washington Auto Road offers a unique experience in iRacing with its single, iconic layout.
Configuration
- Full Hillclimb: 7.6 miles from base to summit, used in the Climb to the Clouds.
Characteristics
- Elevation: Climbing over 4,600 feet makes it one of the most dramatic elevation changes in any motorsport event.
- Surface variety: Paved with occasional gravel or mixed sections in historic events, which iRacing models for authenticity.
- Extreme danger: No runoff, with sheer drops on one side and rock faces on the other.
- Variable weather: Clouds, fog, and wind at the summit add unpredictability.
- Mental challenge: Unlike a circuit with laps, every run is unique and requires memorization.
Mount Washington is not about side-by-side racing—it is about time trials, focus, and battling the mountain itself.
