Configuration

• Rallycross Grand Prix (~1.0 miles): The standard infield layout, featuring mixed surfaces, a jump, Joker Lap, and tight technical sections.

Characteristics

• Compact design: Short laps (~40–50 seconds) ensure high-intensity racing.
• Dirt focus: Significant dirt sections dominate the lap, demanding off-road car control.
• Strategic Joker: The Joker Lap runs longer than the main lap, meaning it must be used wisely to avoid traffic or gain track position.
• Spectator-friendly: Located inside the oval, fans and broadcasts can see nearly the entire lap.
• Aggressive racing: Narrow lines and frequent braking zones lead to door-to-door contact.

Rallycross Atlanta may be small in size, but it delivers nonstop action and embodies the essence of rallycross racing.
