]]> 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.

]]> New Hampshire Motor Speedway is a 1.058-mile (1.70 km) oval located in Loudon, New Hampshire. Its relatively flat design makes it drive differently from most ovals of similar length, rewarding patience, braking skill, and precision.

Track Specs

  • Length: 1.058 miles (1.70 km)
  • Banking: 2–7° in the turns, nearly flat straights
  • Surface: Asphalt
  • Opened: 1990 (replacing the old Bryar Motorsports Park)

Driving Tips

  • Braking Points: Unlike many ovals, NHMS requires heavy braking into the corners. Smooth, consistent braking is essential.
  • Corner Exit: Rolling onto the throttle gradually prevents wheel spin and contact with the outside wall.
  • Passing Zones: Most overtakes happen on entry into Turns 1 and 3, but contact is common.
  • Tire Conservation: With little banking to help rotation, overdriving quickly punishes tires. Patience is key.

In iRacing, New Hampshire often races like a larger Martinsville — tight, physical, and all about execution in the braking zones.

]]> New Hampshire Motor Speedway was released in iRacing to give members access to one of NASCAR’s most distinctive ovals. Known as “The Magic Mile,” the Loudon, New Hampshire track has been a regular on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule since 1990 and also hosts IndyCar, Xfinity, Trucks, and regional racing events.

From NASCAR Cup to open-wheel, the track quickly became a favorite in official and league racing alike.

What makes it unique

  • Length: 1 mile / 1.6 km
  • Surface: asphalt
  • Style: flat oval with tight corners

New Hampshire offers a distinct short-track feel on a mile-long oval in iRacing.
