World Wide Technology Raceway (Gateway)

World Wide Technology Raceway: Characteristics Explained

Configurations & Characteristics Explained article for World Wide Technology Raceway in iRacing.

In iRacing, the focus at World Wide Technology Raceway is on the oval, though the real-world facility also features a drag strip and a road course.

Oval Characteristics

  • Asymmetrical Design: Turns 1–2 are sharper and more banked, while Turns 3–4 are flatter and more open. This forces drivers to adjust mid-lap.
  • Heavy Braking Zones: Gateway races more like a short track in terms of braking and corner entry, despite its 1.25-mile length.
  • Long Straights: Allow drafting runs, but overtaking requires precision into the braking zones.
  • Race Style: NASCAR stock cars emphasize tire conservation and braking discipline, while IndyCars highlight throttle control and slipstreaming.

The blend of short-track technique and intermediate-length speed makes Gateway a unique and challenging oval in iRacing.
