New Hampshire Motor Speedway in iRacing primarily features the oval, but the real-world facility also supports road courses and a motorcycle layout. The oval is the star, known for its flat turns and long straights.
Key Characteristics
- Flat Profile: With just a few degrees of banking, cars rely heavily on mechanical grip and braking.
- Long Straights: Provide opportunities for drafting, but passing requires commitment into the corners.
- Physical Racing: Contact is frequent, and the “bump-and-run” is a common passing tool.
- Versatility: NASCAR stock cars are the primary attraction, but open-wheel and sports car racing also thrive here.
The combination of short-track braking and mile-long speed gives NHMS a character all its own in iRacing.
